=All the Broken Pieces by Ann E. Burg=



//All the Broken Pieces// is a good book about a young boy named Matt Pin, born during the Vietnam War. His mom was Vietnamese (?) and his dad was an American soldier. His father left Vietnam, promising to return, but he never did. His mom sent him to America, where he was adopted. He joins his school's baseball team, but one of the boys had a brother who went to Vietnam in the war and died there. That boy blamed Matt for the death of his brother. They worked it out when they got stuck as partners, and the boy wasn't as rude to Matt anymore.

It's an interesting book, written in verse, but not in rhyme. It really describes some of the Vietnam War. You should read it, but not if you hate wars.
