M.C. Higgins the great

Hamilton, Virginia (author.). Mwangi, Michael Machira, (illustrator.).

Summary: "The Newbery Award, National Book Award, and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning beloved classic is now in a fiftieth anniversary collector's edition. 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." -- back cover.
