内容概要: 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.

系列图书介绍：纽伯瑞儿童文学奖（Newbery Medal），又称纽伯瑞奖，由美国图书馆儿童服务学会于1922年为纪念纽伯瑞而创设的奖项。 这个奖每年颁发一次，专门奖励上一年度出版的以文字为主的英语儿童文学优秀作品。这一奖项设立近百年来，对美国以及世界的儿童文学有着极大的影响。

纽奖作品常常关注世界上在各种境遇中成长的孩子们的故事，而且大都是以7-14岁孩子所处的量变到质变的阶段为主角，从孩子角度，讲述他们的成长故事。作为以“文字”为核心衡量标准的奖项，纽伯瑞奖作品的文字表述极富有美感，是体会英语语言之美的绝佳读物。
