Description
Summary:	Winner of the Newbery Medal<br> <br> A New York Times Book Review Best of Children's Books<br> <br> A National Book Award Nominee <br> <br> <p>Why is the land so important to Cassie's family? It takes the events of one turbulent year--the year of the night riders and the burnings, the year a white girl humiliates Cassie in public simply because she's black--to show Cassie that having a place of their own is the Logan family's lifeblood. It is the land that gives the Logans their courage and pride--no matter how others may degrade them, the Logans possess something no one can take away.<br> <br> <br> "Taylor . . . writes not with rancor or bitterness of indignities, but with pride, strength, and respect for humanity."-- The New York Times Book Review </p>
