The land is
all-important to the Logan family. But it takes awhile for Cassie and her three
brothers to understand just how lucky they are to have it. They must learn the
hard way that having a place they can call their own in rural Mississippi
permits the Logans the luxuries of pride and courage that their poor black
sharecropper neighbors can't afford. Winner
of the 1977 Newbery Medal and nominated for the National Book Award, the story
of Cassie Logan, an independent girl growing up relatively protected in a
loving family, is culled from author Mildred Taylor's own family's life. Stop
by the library to check out this book.
