Thank you to Libro.fm for the free educator ALC. This is a unique tale of a Black sharecropping family who participate in the Oklahoma land rush. This is a very well done story, though I unfortunately think it would be a hard sell for my middle schoolers. For those that read it though, a very rewarding, action-packed climax and conclusion.
