(2) 1-3 Illustrated by James Stevenson. No one bests James Stevenson in evoking the nostalgic past; he must have felt blessed in having Hurst's true and inspiring story about her father, a man with "rocks in his pockets and rocks in his head," to interpret. How her father went from running a service station--where his ever-growing collection of rocks lined the walls--to science museum curator makes for a rock-solid tale of unwavering dedication and determination.
