It's been a terrible year for thirteen-year-old Joshua Harper. The influenza pandemic that's sweeping the world has claimed his father's life; his voice has changed, so he can't sing in the Boston Boys' Choir anymore; and now money is tight, so he must quit school to get a job. It's not fair! <br> Joshua begins working as a newspaper boy, hawking papers on the street, but he soon finds himself competing with Charlestown Charlie, a tough, streetwise boy who does not make things easier for Joshua. It seems that fitting in is not as easy as it once was. Then disaster strikes the city of Boston. Joshua must do what he can to help, and in doing so he finds the place -- and the voice -- that he thought he'd lost.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Joan Hiatt Harlow is the author of several popular historical novels including <i>Secret of the Night Ponies</i>, <i>Shadows on the Sea</i>, <i>Midnight Rider</i>, <i>Star in the Storm</i>, <i>Joshua's Song</i>, <i>Thunder from the Sea</i>, and <i>Breaker Boy</i>.
