Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam
3.0

Hickam is a natural storyteller, bringing a coal town in 1950s West Virginia to life for the reader. I especially enjoyed his descriptions of the people who make up this community from his childhood. The plot line is, however, rather slow, so I wouldn't recommend it to others/students who need something quicker-paced or a lot of action.
