All the Broken Pieces by Ann E. Burg
4.0

Maine Student Book Award Nominee 2010-2011

This book made me cry.

Matt is 10, and he was airlifted out of Vietnam two years ago. This book, told in verse, is the story of him trying to cope with his new American life, by playing baseball, talking with his friend Jeff, and dealing with people in his town who seem to place the blame of the war on him because of his face (even though his father was an American soldier).
