The Well : David's Story

Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry."

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. * A compelling novel about prejudice and the saving power of human dignity."
