Canary in the Coal Mine

140 pp. | Holiday | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2600-3 $17.95
(4) 4-6 When Bitty, a brave little miner canary in Depression-era West Virginia, learns about a mechanical way to detect gas in the coal mines and save lives of miners and their canaries, he flies to the state capital to make his case. Interesting historical content and likable talking-animal characters are hampered by a slow-moving midsection, coincidences, and lengthy side stories.
