Description
As the new school year starts, young Cassie and Little Man couldn't get through the first day of school without being punished for their actions. They had never had schoolbooks of their own; but now that they've gotten them, they've rejected them just as quickly. The act wasn't out of delinquency or some lack of thankfulness. It was a matter of injustice and inequality. As the world isn't easy for people like her, Cassie learns the importance and privilege it is for her family to have land of their own. This is a story of black pride and family bonds, revealing to the reader a glimpse of the Great Depression from the viewpoint of a person of color. 276 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
Set in Mississippi at the height of the Depression, this is the story of one family's struggle to maintain their integrity, pride, and independence in the face of racism and social injustice. And it is also Cassie's story—Cassie Logan, an independent girl who discovers over the course of an important year why having land of their own is so crucial to the Logan family, even as she learns to draw strength from her own sense of dignity and self-respect.
