Summary: An uneventful life story
Comment: A review by Kayvan
A boy, Rob Peck, his father, mother, his aunt and their lonely farm out in the middle of no where. Rob has a normal family he goes to school on the weekdays while his father stays home and tends to the farm. His mother and aunt take care of the house. But it all changes in one day when Robs dad dies. Nothing is the same is after that, Rob is left with a huge burden to take care of his mother aunt while still attending school on the week days!
This story is very uneventful the characters are plain and simple. I liked the way the book described in detail everything that happened. I liked Robs friend Becky Long, she was always supportive of Rob and his poetry and always gave him her lunch. Throughout the story Rob and Becky be come better friends he tells her all about the foreclosure on his home and she gives him advice on how to deal with it. This book has and old back road country kind of take to it. I haven't ever read a book like this most other books I have read have a little bit more excitement than this. The book was very easy to understand though, and if there was a word that I didn't understand the book had and explaination right next to the word. The Plot of the story revolves around Robs dad dying and leaving Rob to fend for himself, and the debt that they have in the bank. The book was pretty long but most of is was useless and had no meaning to the book.
I would not recommend this book to anyone unless you want a book that has no purpose and you want to hear a story about 3 years of someone life, and their everyday struggles. I personally did not like this book at all I hated every minute of it and regret ever getting it.

Summary: A Great Sequel to "A Day No Pigs Would Die"
Comment: "A Part of the Sky" was a great sequel to "A Day No Pigs Would Die" - with some novels, the sequels aren't nearly as good as the originals, but I think that this one is even better!
When 14-year-old Rob's father dies, he is left to care for his mother and aunt, and to run his family's small, struggling farm. Times are hard, but Rob is determined that he won't give the farm up; he plants crops, tries to find odd jobs, though they are low paying during the Depression, keeps in touch with his kind girlfriend, and he also tries to continue going to school.
This was a great novel, on the realistic and yet inspiraional struggles of a poor Shaker boy. Recommended for anyone ages 12 and up wanting a good read, and definitely if you've read "A Day No Pigs Would Die".
