‘Rocket Boys’

Posted on June 2, 2013 by KG

by Homer Hickam. One of the best books I ever read, and a reminder of an age when boys were encouraged to be boys.  I can’t recommend it highly enough.

    Yeah the movie is pretty good too.

    Evidently there was a legal problem with using the name Rocket Boys so the called it October Sky, which is an anagram of the former.

    Catches the spirit of the book.
