Description

During the late 1950s, life in Coalwood, West Virginia revolved around the coal company. A boy's future almost certainly lay in working in the mines. But times are changing, and the Russians have just launched Sputnik, beating the U.S. in the race to reach space. 14-year old Homer Hickam, whose father is a manager at the mine, can't help but dream of building rockets. This memoir and story, originally published under the title Rocket Boys, also inspired a motion picture by the same name. ~ Anh
