(3) 4-6 Dubbed "Macaroni Boy" by his sixth-grade nemesis, Mike Costa enlists his best friend to confront the bully. But when Mike sees his senile grandfather vomiting blood, his focus shifts to discovering the source of the poison he is sure Grandpap has been ingesting. The historical novel adeptly incorporates actual events that occurred in Pittsburgh during the Great Depression, and Mike's concerns ring true.
