Overview
Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
Cassie Logan and her brothers have been warned never to go to the Wallace store.
So they know to expect trouble there. What they don’t expect is to hear Mr. Tom Bee, an elderly black man, daring to call the white storekeeper by his first name. The year is 1933, the place is Mississippi, and any child knows that some things just aren’t done. Can a shared past between the two men make a difference?
"A powerful story…Readers will be haunted by its drama and emotion long after they have closed the book."—Booklist
