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
