內(nèi)容概要: Set in the Deep South, this Newbery Medal-winning novel tells the story of the great coon dog, Sounder, and the poor sharecroppers who own him.
During the difficult years of the nineteenth century South, an African-American boy and his poor family rarely have enough to eat. Each night, the boy's father takes their dog, Sounder, out to look for food and the man grows more desperate by the day.
When food suddenly appears on the table one morning, it seems like a blessing. But the sheriff and his deputies are not far behind. The ever-loyal Sounder remains determined to help the family he loves as hard times bear down on them.

系列圖書(shū)介紹：紐伯瑞兒童文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)（Newbery Medal），又稱(chēng)紐伯瑞獎(jiǎng)，由美國(guó)圖書(shū)館兒童服務(wù)學(xué)會(huì)于1922年為紀(jì)念紐伯瑞而創(chuàng)設(shè)的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。 這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)每年頒發(fā)一次，專(zhuān)門(mén)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)上一年度出版的以文字為主的英語(yǔ)兒童文學(xué)優(yōu)秀作品。這一獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)設(shè)立近百年來(lái)，對(duì)美國(guó)以及世界的兒童文學(xué)有著極大的影響。

紐獎(jiǎng)作品常常關(guān)注世界上在各種境遇中成長(zhǎng)的孩子們的故事，而且大都是以7-14歲孩子所處的量變到質(zhì)變的階段為主角，從孩子角度，講述他們的成長(zhǎng)故事。作為以“文字”為核心衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，紐伯瑞獎(jiǎng)作品的文字表述極富有美感，是體會(huì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言之美的絕佳讀物。
