From School Library Journal
Grade 7-10–A favorable chat-room critique of Sara's poem marks the beginning of Rob and Sara's relationship, which develops through e-mails over the course of a school year. Sara, a military brat, longs for a place to call home. Rob attends an exclusive boarding school for problem teens. Letter by letter, the teens build trust and reveal more of the intimate details of their lives. That both are lonely outsiders makes their evolving relationship believable. However, the road to love is never a straight path. The most interesting twist comes when Shannon, a student at Rob's school, e-mails Sara to say that Rob is actually Alex, a boy who is suffering from multiple personality disorder and is suicidal. Readers will fly through the pages until this mystery is resolved. Imprisoned in their respective situations, the teens begin to long for the day when they can meet. It feels like an impossible dream to them, but when Sara is in an accident, Rob masterminds an escape and goes to visit her in the hospital. Unfortunately, she is unconscious, and so the day when they will meet face to face is again delayed. Readers will either be disappointed or hope that a sequel is coming.–Catherine Ensley, Latah County Free Library District, Moscow, ID

Gr. 7-11. Sara meets Rob via e-mail after submitting a poem to a teen poets' bulletin board, and their e-mail friendship twists, turns, and morphs throughout a year. Sara, the good girl of a military family, dares to correspond with a boy. Or is he a man? A troubled teen? A lecher? It's the electronic conundrum of true identity, and the authors realistically exploit this uncertainty. Sara4348 is determined to believe that Robcruise99 is a good guy in spite of the hints he drops and the e-mails from others that call his character into question. Writing entirely in e-mails, Petersen and Ruckman reveal their characters' personalities and life experiences slowly. Who is real? Who is an imposter? Written by authors who live in separate cities and wrote the story one e-mail at a time, the resulting book is a suspenseful experiment. Frances Bradburn
