From Booklist:
K-Gr. 3. There is a real story in this upbeat picture book, which begins quietly on a huge Chilean fruit farm, where Max's father works in the vineyard. One day Max rides his pony to the farm's packing house and secretly slips a note into a box of grapes. The note eventually reaches Maggie in the U.S., and the kids write to each other--Max in Spanish (Maggie's teacher translates for her) and Maggie in English (a rich farm owner helps Max understand). Then a huge earthquake hits the farm, Max's school is destroyed, and Maggie's class sends boxes of books and supplies. Until the scary earthquake, the farm scenes are too idyllic, everyone always smiling and kind, but the bright, open artwork captures both the daily happiness and the dramatic upheaval. Best of all is the bilingual theme, which adds a new element to pen pal fun. Hazel Rochman
