On a bright afternoon in February 1910, thirteen-year-old Tommy Dumont witnesses the most stupendous event he has ever seen-the first flight of a powered airplane in Denver history.

Eventually looked after by both an Irish immigrant who earns her living as a prostitute and Denver's renowned juvenile court Judge Ben Lindsey, Tommy survives by his bountiful wits and his determination to make something of his life despite his seizures until the judge make a life-changing request of him. Tommy is a remarkable character, and his story is one of courage and friendship, tragedy and redemption. Martin is, first and foremost, a consummate storyteller, says Kirkus Reviews.
