A Piece of the Sky

177 pp. | Whitman | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-6536-0 $15.95
(4) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Russell, his friend Phoebe and her brother Isaac (who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder), and blind ex-con Legs Leland search for a meteorite discovered by Russell's ancestor in 1856 (relayed in flashbacks). The search for the elusive but valuable "piece of the sky" involves adventure, intrigue, and death. The conclusion is weak, but the readable text is fast paced.
