Victor, Isaac, Vanessa, and Sara have been taken away from their mother. They’ve been forced to leave behind their home, school, friends, and — worst of all — each other. Vanessa and Sara have been placed in the same foster home, but Victor and Isaac have been separated from their younger siblings and each other. As Victor and Isaac grapple with the many challenges of their new lives, they try to keep in touch through email. But will their messages be enough to get them through the hard times and keep them together?
“The series presents a realistic yet accessible look at a family encountering stressful circumstances. VERDICT: Written at a second and third grade reading level, Brothers is an unflinching exploration of a family navigating foster care.”
—School Library Journal (On Taken Away)
