The Road to Memphis

A stunning repackage of a companion to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, with cover art by two-time Caldecott Honor Award winner Kadir Nelson.

As America stands on the brink of World War II, seventeen-year-old Cassie Logan dreams of attending college and becoming a lawyer. But her future is overshadowed when her friend Moe retaliates against his white tormentors—an act that places his life in grave danger in segregated Mississippi.

To help him escape, Cassie, her brother, and their friends set out on a dangerous journey to Memphis, where they hope Moe can find safety and a chance at a new beginning.
