by Virginia Hamilton (Author)
With this special collector's edition, featuring a deluxe faux-leather embossed cover, celebrate the legacy of the transcendent middle grade masterpiece about a young Black boy whose quiet rural live in the Appalachian Mountains begins to change--winner of the Newbery Medal, the National Book Award, and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award.
Mayo Cornelius Higgins sits on his gleaming, forty-foot steel pole, towering over his home on Sarah's Mountain. Stretched before him are rolling hills and shady valleys. But behind him lie the wounds of strip mining, including a mountain of rubble that may one day fall and bury his home. M.C. dreams of escape for himself and his family. And, one day, atop his pole, he thinks he sees it--two strangers are making their way toward Sarah's Mountain. One can make M.C.'s mother famous. And the other has the kind of freedom that M.C. has never even considered.Author Biography
