Description
Two years after being airlifted out of war-torn Vietnam, Matt Pin is haunted: by bombs that fell like dead crows, by the family — and the terrible secret — he left behind. Now, inside a caring adoptive home in the United States, a series of profound events force him to choose between silence and candor, blame and forgiveness, fear and freedom.
By turns harrowing, dreamlike, sad, and triumphant, this searing debut novel, written in lucid verse, reveals an unforgettable perspective on the lasting impact of war and the healing power of love.

This book made me cry.
Matt is 10, and he was airlifted out of Vietnam two years ago. This book, told in verse, is the story of him trying to cope with his new American life, by playing baseball, talking with his friend Jeff, and dealing with people in his town who seem to place the blame of the war on him because of his face (even though his father was an American soldier).
