Summary
This true story took place at the emergency farm-labor camp immortalized in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Ostracized as 'dumb Okies,' the children of Dust Bowl migrant laborers went without school--until Superintendent Leo Hart and 50 Okie kids built their own school in a nearby field. 'The story is inspiring, and Stanley has recorded the details with passion and dignity. An excellent curriculum item.'--(starred) Booklist.
