"The Rainy Day Railroad War" by Holman Day is a gripping story set in the early 1900s about a young engineer named Rodney Parker who gets caught up in a heated battle over workers' rights and building a railroad through an untamed land. Parker faces off against Colonel Gideon Ward, a powerful and mean timber boss, dealing with tough issues and scary situations. The book kicks off with Parker working hard on the railroad and standing up for some Italian workers who are being treated unfairly by their boss, Dominick. This act of bravery throws Parker into a world of trouble, where he has to fight accusations and prove he's a strong leader as he takes on both the ruthless Ward and the dangers of the wild.
