Whenever I'm asked to recommend a multicultural novel for grades 6 to 8, this Newbery Medal winner is one of the first titles that comes to mind. In Mississippi during the Depression, a young black girl and her family struggle with financial hardship and racial bigotry. Students will thoroughly enjoy the plot and develop a better feel for how superb characterization pushes literature forward.
