Twelve-year-old Kentuckian Curley has lived with his grandpa since his parents and brother were killed in coal-mining accidents. When Red Hawk Mountain is threatened by strip-miners, Curley and his friends fight to save it. A healthy respect for nature and setting--Appalachian characters are portrayed intelligently, with Curley's Papaw stressing the importance of education and eloquence--make this an engaging, thoughtful read.
