Mildred D. Taylor: The Logan Family Saga Complete Collection
Mildred D. Taylor · 2020
92/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real deal — a Newbery Medal winner and four-time Coretta Scott King Award honoree that's been a classroom staple for decades, and for good reason. It doesn't shy away from the hard truths of Jim Crow-era racism, but it handles them with care and nuance, and the Logan family's faith and love for their land carry the whole saga. Absolutely worth it, just plan on some conversation with younger readers.
