Gina Menchetti in response to Shelbi Nelson

Shelbi, after reading your blog about Rocket Boys you persuaded me to get a copy of the book. You've made me very curious to see how the boys were able to overcome their numerous hardships, and how they managed to build complex rockets in such a small town with hardly any supplies. I too have seen the movie October Sky and I found it really entertaining, but I had no idea that it was based off of an autobiography, so now I would like to actually hear the full story. I also understand your dilemma about a movie not being nearly as good as the book it is based off of.
