Book Description
Logan is a sad little boy who is bullied at school by thoughtless unfeeling children who like to make fun of him. His life is already a sad one because of circumstances beyond his control out of which initially he can see no escape. At home, following his attempt to put these unpleasant episodes behind him, an annoying noise disturbs his Saturday in front of the television - his only enjoyable time of escape from the daily sadness he experiences. Scouring the house to find the source, the unexpected inevitably takes him away from the humdrum existence he leads, into a world that is so vibrantly different from his own. What will he find in this place? Why has he been brought here, and will he ever return to his normal life?

Book Description
Clem wants a dog for his thirteenth birthday, but what he gets is a miner's cap. It is the 1920s in Leadanna, Missouri, and Clem must become a man, leaving school and joining Pap in the lead mines--money is tight in the Harding household. Meanwhile, Lindy, whose face bears a scar from an accident that left her motherless, is forced to help her abusive father sell moonshine. As Clem searches for another way to support his family, the two become friends. Then disaster strikes: a death, a mining accident, and then a tornado. In the aftermath, Lindy takes advantage of her chance to flee Leadanna, and Clem is torn between following her and staying behind to help his family. This beautifully written coming-of-age novel shines with true characters, a vivid setting, and heart-felt relationships.
