This book is about a pilot in the war. His dad had owned slaves and he did not like that fact. The man had a copilot who didn't like listening to him. This book is about a campaign that some people set up, but sadly it failed. This talks about the history of this campaign. This man awas a brave soldier in the army who stood up for his team.
This book is very encouraging but I though it was a little slow.

On this day the scientist predicted that it would stop raining and the sun would come out for 1 hour. Many of the children didn't believe this but Margot a little girl did. Since the kids didn't believe her they locked her up in the closet. Later the sun came out, the kids were so happy. They jumped and played until it started raining again, then they realized that they forgot about Margot, and she never got to see the sun for another 7 years.
