Bookroo's summary
Arthur eagerly checks the mail daily, hoping for a postcard from his best friend Buster, who's away for a month. As days pass without a word, Arthur feels forgotten, especially when others receive messages. Will the postman bring a surprise before Buster returns?
From the publisher
When Arthur’s best friend Buster leaves town to visit his father for a month, Buster promises to send postcards to Arthur. Every day Arthur looks for a postcard in the mail, but finds nothing from Buster. When Arthur learns that all his friends at school have heard from Buster, Arthur is crushed–until the postman sets things right again the day before Buster’s scheduled return.
