Rocket Boys
by Homer Hickam
This is the book that the movie October Sky was based on. The book was a little different in that the father was more helpful than he was portrayed to be in the movie. And although I'm not a science guy, I found the descriptions of the rocket building to be very interesting. Overall, this is an endearing and inspirational story of the opportunities available to anyone who is willing to work hard, although none of Sonny's success would have been possible without the support of his community.
