The Journey of Little Charlie
Author: Christopher Paul Curtis
Publisher: Scholastic Inc.
ISBN: 1338164007
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
The Newberry Medalist brings humor and heart to this story of a Civil War–era boy struggling to do right in the face of history’s cruelest evils. Twelve-year-old Charlie is down on his luck: His sharecropper father just died, and Cap’n Buck—the most fearsome man in Possum Moan, South Carolina—has come to collect a debt. Fearing for his life, Charlie strikes a deal with Cap’n Buck and agrees to track down some folks accused of stealing from the cap’n and his boss. It’s not too bad of a bargain for Charlie . . . until he comes face-to-face with the fugitives and discovers their true identities. Torn between his guilty conscience and his survival instinct, Charlie needs to figure out his next move—and soon. It’s only a matter of time before Cap’n Buck catches on. Praise for The Journey of Little Charlie A National Book Award Finalist “This is a compelling and ugly story for middle-grade readers told with genuine care. Little Charlie is a product of his Southern upbringing, yet in Curtis’s skillful hands he learns the world is not as he’d thought . . . Christopher Paul Curtis does it again.” —Historical Novel Society “A characteristically lively and complex addition to the historical fiction of the era from Curtis.” —Kirkus Reviews

Pages : 19
Book Description
While many of us grew up in a home with siblings and two loving parents, there are those, particularly in todays society, who grow up in single-parent homes. Charlie is a young boy being raised in a single-parent home who has questions about why his father does not live with him. His mother lovingly does the best she can to put his mind at ease by showing him he has an entire family that cares about him. My Friend Tommy Has a Daddy and a Mommy explains to children in an entertainingly poetic format that they are loved by both parents although there may only be one parent present in the home. I read the book to my grandsons and they asked me to read it again. They thought it was a happy story and I think so too. The book is still on my coffee table and my grandson, due to come in the door any minute, will go straight to the book and ask me to read it to him. We love it. Thank you for putting such an important message into such sweet words. Candida Whitaker Brown
