(2) YA Nelson's talent for informing her poetry with historical empathy is present in this verse novel. Connor Bianchini finds out that his paternal grandfather wasn't his Nonno but rather most likely a Tuskegee Airman, thus African American. Standardized in form throughout, two stanzas of twelve lines of unrhymed poetry appear on the book's right-hand pages. Photographs of Tuskegee Airmen and an author's note are included.
