وصف الناشر
Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
For David Logan, a time of distress means taking the higher road.
During a drought, the Logan family shares their well water with their neighbors, black and white alike. But David’s brother Hammer finds it hard to share with Charlie Simms, who torments them because they are black. Hammer’s pride and Charlie’s meanness are a dangerous combination, and tensions between the boys build and build—until they explode.
* “A compelling novel about prejudice and the saving power of human dignity."—School Library Journal, starred review
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Praising the fully developed characters, PW said that this prequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry "skillfully delivers powerful messages about racism and moral fortitude." Ages 8-12.

Excellent book for kids
Mildred Taylor’s story telling skills are on full display in this book. It’s a great read and it make you visualize all the things she describes in words.
The Well
The well is the best and most interesting book ever it was for summer reading for my class. I started it fast so I could get it out of the way and it was so good I read it 3 times to really get slavery and sadness in my head. I am black to I now how it feels to be discriminated for the color of my skin. Anyway best book ever!
