About this listen

 Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

For David Logan, a time of distress means taking the higher road.

During a drought, the Logan family shares their well water with their neighbors, black and white alike. But David’s brother Hammer finds it hard to share with Charlie Simms, who torments them because they are black. Hammer’s pride and Charlie’s meanness are a dangerous combination, and tensions between the boys build and build—until they explode.


* “A compelling novel about prejudice and the saving power of human dignity."—School Library Journal, starred review Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Multi-generational Family Multicultural Stories Discrimination

This is a short story in the logan family series, showing the family's struggles to survive in Mississippi during post slavery era. It is written from David's point of view and as he is a young boy, it makes it easier for a young audience to connect with him. Mildred Taylor is able to portray concept of racism to young readers. I have read all her books and love each one. She is a gift.

Amazing story
