Title: Outstanding and inspiring story
Review: As a school board member living 75 miles from Columbine High, I have been pondering the role of the media in the lives of youth today. This book and movie (I saw the movie first) are a great antidote and contrast to todays popular fare. It is sobering to realize that we have to go back over 40 years to find a story like this. The recreation of Coalwood was so vivid in the book that I could almost taste the coal dust. I rarely get this excited about a book or a movie, but this one is just wonderful.
