Summary: Telegraph Transmit
Comment: Radio Rescue shows how even young people can help others. Lynne Barasch writes about her father as a 10-year-old boy, who in 1923 falls in love with the newly created telegraph machine and spends two years becoming a telegraph operator. This boy became an experienced operator and in 1926 was able to relay a message which lead to the rescue of a family in Key Largo, Florida.
This is an historical non-fiction picture book with full-page color cartoons written in first person from the perspective of the author's father. The book also includes a time line of the invention of the telegraph, a list of the advantages of the telegraph, and a chart of Morse code.
Radio Rescue is suggested for 5-8 year olds but 8-11 year olds would understand the concept better. Robert J. Marx, the author's father, wrote [this book is a] "mostly true and faithful recording of my very younger days"...[and he is] "...stil completely [sic] fluent in Morse code as I learned it at age 10..."

Summary: A great way to introduce a young person to a life adventure
Comment: Ms. Barasch has done a superb job of capturing the essence of amateur radio. This book speaks to the young reader as an equal, and tells with enthusiasm the story of a young boy who was caught up in the exciting time when radio was becoming an important broadcast medium, but was developing rapidly as a long-range two-way communication system... I heartily recommend this book! Buy it as a gift for every young person you know!

Summary: Great radio adventure story
Comment: I use this in my "Ham Radio for Kids" class. My boys read this book over and over again, and I like the story too - it reminds me of the excitement of getting my ham license at age 13. Rich - KY6R
