NOVELA GANADORA DE LA MEDALLA NEWBERY
Porque la tierra los mantiene unidos, nada puede apartar a los Logan
 
¿Por qué es la tierra tan importante para la familia de Cassie? Los acontecimientos de un año agitado —el año de los hombres de la noche y de los incendios, el año en que una muchacha blanca humilló a Cassie en público porque era negra— sirvieron para que Cassie se diera cuenta de que tener un lugar propio constituye el alma de la familia Logan. El valor y el orgullo de los Logan se los da la tierra, porque sin importar cuánto los puedan subestimar, los Logan poseen algo que nadie les puede quitar.

Wow. I read this when I was a kid but reading it now... it's a different experience.
