Best Answer

Homer Hickham and the other rocket boys were accused of causing a fire a couple of counties over when one of their rockets came down. It turns out that the rocket that started the fire was from another source.

Also, Homer's father was injured in a mine accident, and Homer had to go to work in the mine to help support his family.
