This is a great and quick read. Your school age children will love this book. This book is set during the depression. It is about the work groups that FDR set up for people to work to get back up on their feet. This story is about a group of black men who are in the work company called the CCC. They are to put out fires in the areas. The young man Joseph is a shoeshine boy and he befriends one of the workers and helps him train pigeons. The pigeons are a new project they working on. For a short book there is a lot going on but it keeps your interest. I would highly recommend that you give this book a read.
