Leigh Botts is dealing with a lot of issues in his young life. He is the new kid in school, someone keeps stealing his lunch, and his parents have just divorced. Leigh is having trouble adjusting to so many major changes. When Leigh is asked to write to his favorite author, he sends Mr. Henshaw 10 questions to answer. He becomes frustrated because Mr. Henshaw does not respond quickly enough to his correspondence. Mr. Henshaw recommends that Leigh keep a journal. In writing in the journal over several years, Leigh matures and learns to cope with changes. When his dad returns for a visit at the end of the story, Leigh is much more comfortable with the situation.
