The Well Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

During a drought, the Logan family shares their well water with all their neighbors, black and white alike. But David and Hammer find it hard to share with Charlie Simms, who torments them because they are black. Hammer's pride and Charlie's meanness are a dangerous mixture, and tensions build and build. Narrated by young David Logan, Cassie's father in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, this extraordinary story is filled with characters and events so real that they're unforgettable.

Synopsis:

During a drought, the Logan family shares its well water with all its neighbors, black and white alike. But David and Hammer find it hard to share with Charlie Simms, who torments them because they are black. "A brief but compelling story about prejudice and the saving power of human dignity".--"School Library Journal".
