What the Story Is About
This book continues the adventures of Elizabeth Richardson and Tara*Starr Lane. In the first book, they wrote letters to each other, which is called "snail mail." Now, a year later, they are excited to use email! Email is much faster, so they can talk more often. This helps them feel even closer, even though they live far away.
Friendship Through Email
