Sounder

The Newbery Medal–winning classic novel about the courage
and faith—and the love of a dog—that give a family strength in the face of
inhumanity. 

The
boy knows that times are tough for his family. Every night, his father goes out
hunting with their great coon dog, Sounder, to try to put food on the table.
But even with the little they bring back, there is still never enough for the
family to eat.
