About This Book

The Logan family owns their land in Mississippi during the Depression, and nine-year-old Cassie does not yet understand why that makes them targets. Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Medal masterpiece is the definitive children's novel about the racism of the Jim Crow South, told with searing honesty and the fierce, dignified love of a family who refuses to be broken.
