Galveston Reads is proud to announce the selection of Rocket Boys by Homer H. Hickam, Jr. for 2010.
A skillfully written memoir that captures the wonder of the early years of space
exploration, this book reminds us of the mid-century wonder of seeing Sputnik in
the night sky. In his honest rendering of his youth, the author evokes the universal
angst of being a teenager while showing that anyone can rise above their
circumstances. Brought to the screen as October Sky”, the novel is far richer
and contains many more details about his life and times.
