He witnesses his grandfather and a couple retired soldiers stand up for a women of minority's race.

I would recommend this book to older kids who like to read about other people's growth and development and accomplishments. I thought this book was just a phenomenal story. The way it draws you into the story and connects you to Jake and his life is just great way to write a wonderful story like this one. Opa's Rhyme was also a and funny story to read. It will probably make you smile when Jake and his friends accomplish something big. You don't even have to be a big reader to enjoy this book, that comes automatically, just try and enjoyment is definite.
