It was about a small, brown nightingale who lived in India(It wasn't The Emperor's Nightingale). I remember reading this book when I was a kid. I also believe at one point the boys (before the brother died) had a secret hide out in the woods, and also at the end the dog leads the boy to the dead brother's toy in the mentally disabled boy's backyard. At one point he was taken into custody, and went on the news and eventually made it to Georgia. He later found a stray dog and somehow figured out his brother's soul was in this dog, and the boy tried hitchhiking his way to Georgia to see the rockets. A boy that I think ended up having a mental disability wanted the boy's toy rocket, and he went to get it and the boy fell in the ditch that was going to be used for the shelter and was speared on a cast-iron foundation bar. It all took place during the Vietnam War and his father was digging a bomb shelter outside, and his father became obsessed with the project, but something terrible happened. He had model rockets of all sorts, and always watched rocket tv shows and such. I read a book a while back about a boy who was obsessed with the idea of going to Georgia to see rockets fly. Boy's brother dies then he finds a stray dog that is his brother
