Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, with cover art by two-time Caldecott Honor Award winner Kadir Nelson!It is a frightening and turbulent time for the Logan family.

And when Cassie's neighbor, Mrs. Lee Annie, stands up for her right to vote, she and her family are driven from their home. Other neighbors are destroyed and shattered by the greed of landowners. But through it all, Cassie and the Logans stand together and stand proud--proving that courage, love, and understanding can defy even the deepest prejudice."This dramatic sequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is a powerful novel . . .capable of touching readers of any age."—The Christian Science Monitor"A profoundly affecting novel."—Publishers Weekly

"Read it last year, definitely a good book!"
Jonathan Kent
"Phenomenal book! Took me a little white to get going hair because of the old style writing and small font, but was worth it! Really great book for kids/tweens to understand the injustice of the world around us. Felt very moved by the end of it. A little surprised that this is juvenile fiction, as it deals with some heavy topics and usage of words such as the n-word. That being said, I guess these are things that kids should be taught about young… if you do have your kid/tween read it though, perhaps a good conversation about things in the book would be valuable and helpful! Great book, great morals!"
