(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Nate attempts to hide his wealthy upbringing as he befriends a group of boys who work in his father's coal mines. Through Nate and his friendship with the boys, Hughes fairly represents both the workers' and the owners' sides of the complicated issue of coal miners' rights in this engaging and well-told story based on true events from 1897. Glos.
