Moon Over Sputnik (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615703978)

The year is 1957, and the nation is about to be stunned by the launch of the Soviet satellite, Sputnik. The U.S. must play catch-up or be left behind in the most significant race in human history. So too with the McTavish family owned bowling alley. Its dilapidated structure and pin boys are soon to be outdated by slick new establishments with automatic pin setting machines and bright modern surroundings. The story is told through the eyes of fourteen year old Danny McTavish, a young man in the shadow of his talented older brother, who has his own growing up to do. This coming-of-age tale is filled with poignant humor, pathos and a sweet sadness that will touch the reader.
