Radio Rescue

(2) K-3 In 1923 the author's father, Robert Marx, was the youngest licensed amateur radio operator in the United States. This first-person narrative describes ten-year-old Robert's experiences learning Morse code, earning his ham license, and using his skills to assist a Florida family stranded in a hurricane. The writing and illustrations have an understated quality well suited to this story of a boy pursuing a fascinating and unusual hobby.
