Summary: Fictionalized account of the Hindenburg disaster
Comment: Young nine-year-old Stenny was used to losing - at everything! His interest in models, however, leads him to become a hero with his family and friends. The author, Candice Ransome, takes on a challenge writing about such a well known disaster but her research and storytelling skills will entice many young boys to pick up what could very possibly be their first historical fiction book.

Shelly O. Haas(illustrator) has hit the mark with her gifted illustrations. I found myself reading faster simply so I could turn the page to enjoy the next illustration. Definitely Caldecott caliber!

Warning Librarians! Have this book close by just in case a 9-11 year old relunctant reader comes in who might enjoy a story of a "less than ordinary boy" who witnesses one of aviation's worse disasters and learns how it feels to become a hero by helping others.
