//**October Sky **//
by Homer Hickam The setting of this book is in a mining town called coal wood. Most of the book is in this town. The other main setting is the school that all the mining towns go to. Also the mine its self is a main setting. The main setting if not most important is the launch pad where they launch rocket.

The main charter in the book is the author Homer Hickam. He tells about his father and mother and his brother Jim. His two best friends Roy lee and O'Dell. There are also new friends he makes Quentin, Sherman and Billy. Theirs also a girl he falls in love with Dorothy Plunk. Those are some of the main characters.

The plot of the story is about Homer Hickem and his teenage friends and rockets. He writes about his live in coal wood. The adventures they had for building rockets to getting caught with moon shine. The boys go from unknown blowing up a fence to crazy popular with rockets to the beyond. The book is very good and is called October Sky

I think this book is a great book. The charters are great and its true story. Anybody would like this book its amazing. If you choose this book your project will be easy.
