Sounder by William H. Armstrong
4.0

Sounder is an outstanding short novel told from the point of view of a young boy who grows up amid hardship and prejudice. It's a sad story, but ultimately wonderful and beautifully written. In just 83 pages, William Armstrong presents a simple yet powerful tale of love, determination, and dedication. I thought this book might have only been written for children, but there is much that adults can appreciate as well.
