The Powerful Newbery Award-winning Classic

A landmark in children’s literature, winner o the 1970 Newbery Meal, and the basis of an acclaimed film, sounder traces the keen sorrow and the abiding faith of a poor African-American boy in the 19th century South. The boy’s father is a sharecropper, struggling to feed his family in hard times. Night after night, he and his great coon dog, Sounder, return to the cabin empty handed. Then, one morning almost like a miracle, a sweet-smelling ham is cooking in the family’s kitchen. At last the family will have a good meal. But that night, an angry sheriff and his deputies come, and the boy’s life will never be the same.
