Now re packaged with stunning fresh cover art for a new generation! The Newbery Medal–winning classic novel about courage and faith—and the love of a dog—that gave 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. When the boy awakens one morning to a sweet-smelling ham on the table, it seems like a blessing. But soon, the sheriff and his deputies come to the house and take the boy’s father away in handcuffs.
