Publisher's Summary:
Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
For David Logan, a time of distress means taking the higher road.
During a drought, the Logan family shares their well water with their neighbors, black and white alike. But David's brother Hammer finds it hard to share with Charlie Simms, who torments them because they are black. Hammer's pride and Charlie's meanness are a dangerous combination, and tensions between the boys build and build - until they explode.
Critic Reviews:
"A compelling novel about prejudice and the saving power of human dignity." (School Library Journal)
Members Reviews:
A must read!
A great story and one that continues to establish Ms. Taylor as an accurate historian and storyteller for this era. Her characters are well-developed, sometimes complex, but all with qualities that everyone can identify with. I highly recommend her books, especially for children or adults who are not familiar with this era in African-American history.
Amazing
Bring my last name is Logan hooked me on these stories a long time ago. Great storyteller absolutely amazing. Thank you!
great books, great author!
great books, great author! bough the entire series for my daughter.
Great!
My son has read this book twice already and he is typically not one to pull out a book to read. I remember reading books by this author when I was a child. Very good stories.
The Well
The Well is a book that works into lesson plans for Black History month very easily.
The author of the book helps elementary age students understand the racial tension that reached its tenacles far beyond the Civil War and made the Civil Rights Movement in our nation a necessity.
I would encourage every teacher to have a classroom set of this book to use to help explain that hatred and racism can be overcome. It may take years, but each small victory is simply a rung in the ladder to success.
Read it, I think you'll agree.
