(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Don lives in an Oklahoma mining town in 1957. Tension grips the community as questions about the mine's safety are raised. Chapters alternate between Don, who's worried his parents won't have enough money to celebrate Christmas, and Frank, the family dog, who reports events from his particular canine perspective. Though the outcome is unsurprising, the throwback narrative is comfortably folksy.
