Changing middle schools is difficult for Sori, not only because it’s mid-term but because she expects the students around her to be as mean as the students she left behind. Then Sori finds letter number one taped to the bottom of her desk—leading to more letters around the school and an unseen friend.

Kindness doesn’t have positive results for Sori at first, but she persists in doing the best she can with the circumstances she is in. The negative results affect her life, but Sori does not let them change who she is at heart. Beautifully illustrated, Sori’s story is an uplifting one about kindness being unexpectedly passed along and eventually returned.

The characters are Korean. The mature content rating is for illegal activity and partial nudity. The violence rating is for assault.
