Winner of the Newbery Medal M.C. dreams of escape for himself and his family. And, one day atop his pole, he thinks he sees it - two strangers are making their way toward Sarah's Mountain. One has the ability to make M.C.'s mother famous. And the other has a freedom that M.C. has never even considered. There is some writing on the inside cover. See pictures. Otherwise a very good copy. Feels like it's never been read!
