Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

This novel for young readers won the Newbery Medal in 1977. With the land to hold them together, nothing can tear the Logans apart. Why is the land so important to Cassie¹s family? It takes the events of one turbulent year -- the year of the night riders and the burnings, the year a white girl humiliates Cassie in public simply because she is black -- to show Cassie that having a place of their own is the Logan family¹s lifeblood. It is the land that gives the Logans their courage and pride -- no matter how others may degrade them, the Logans possess something no one can take away.Taylor, Mildred D. is the author of 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756779559 and ISBN 0756779553.
