VICTORY TO THE BOYS FOR YOUNG READERS
Following nine working class boys struggling to put themselves through school under the weight of the Great Depression, Daniel James Brown's global bestseller captures Joe Rantz's story as he joins the University of Washington's rowing team, eventually putting him on the forefront of standing up to fascist power against Hitler's men's eight team in the 1936 Olympics. Deeply researched and elegantly written, Gregory Mone transforms Brown's tale for younger readers, immortalizing this story of hope, hard work, and the thrill of rowing and camaraderie for another generation.
