      Maglietta nera con su scritto SALVATE LE BALENE, Doc Martens con lacci fluorescenti, la tendenza a parlare prima di riflettere: questa è Tara Starr, ragazzina esplosiva con due genitori giovanissimi e un tantino irresponsabili. Gonna scozzese, mocassini, orecchini di perle e una timidezza tale da farla sembrare un po' snob: ecco Elizabeth, ragazza modello che vive in una grande villa piena di servitù. Non potrebbero essere più diverse, eppure si vogliono bene... Tanto bene che, quando Tara è costretta a trasferirsi, le due amiche cominciano un intenso scambio di lettere per raccontarsi le novità, i cambiamenti (e nella loro vita ce ne sono un bel po'), le speranze e i problemi... Il guaio, però, è che si può litigare anche per lettera!

      Cara E. perché non mi rispondi?
