Radio Rescue by Lynne Barasch

We had just read a short biography about Samuel Morse so it was great to read a book about a boy utilized his invention.
In the 1920's a young boy longs to be a ham radio operator, but first he must learn Morse code.  His efforts pay off when he earns his license and helps rescue a family in Florida.
Based on true story (the boy is the author's father).
I especially liked how the front and end had statues of scientists whose discoveries and theories led to the invention of the radio.
