Helpful Score: 2

This is a great companion novel to "Rocket Boys", the novel that inspired the movie "October Sky". I love reading about life in Coalwood, WVa and learning about a small town at that time. Where "Rocket Boys" was more focused on the Rocket Boys and their journey building rockets, this novel is about the same time frame and focuses more on family and relationships within the town. I'm now reading the next book, "Sky of Stone" that takes place when Sonny comes home to Coalwood after his first year of college. I love this book!
