Description

Another powerful story within the Logan Circle of relatives Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor’s Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

A day of conflict and tragedy.

Cassie Logan and her brothers watch as the weekly bus from Jackson comes splashing through a heavy rainstorm—they’re there to see their grandmother off on a commute. One at a time, the passengers board the bus. But that is Mississippi within the 1930s, so when a couple of white passengers arrive on the last minute, the driver more or less orders the black passengers off the bus, including Cassie’s grandmother. Then, disaster strikes within the rain, and the children witness a shocking end to the day’s drama.

“Taylor, a powerful storyteller, again combines authentic incidents to create a taut plot…Her cry for justice all the time rings true.”—Kirkus Reviews
