Parents need to know that Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is a lyrical, compelling story of 9-year-old narrator, Cassie Logan, and her family in Depression-era Mississippi. The 2016, 40th anniversary edition features cover art by Caldecott Honor-winner Kadir Nelson and an introduction by Jacqueline Woodson. The story builds to a fiery climax and features violence motivated by racial prejudice. A family is threatened by a white neighbor and by fire; a mob threatens people; three men are set on fire; children are whipped by teacher and parents; a teen boy is beaten by some older men; one man is shot; and there are vague references to rape. It's a meaningful tale of one family's struggle to keep their small piece of land and maintain their dignity under extremely challenging circumstances.
All enrolled students will be required to purchase their own copy of “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” by Mildred Taylor.( approximately 8.99 per copy-available on Amazon). Students are encouraged to get a journal for their writing prompt assignments.
