The Corn Grows Ripe (Puffin Newbery Library)

A Newbery Honor Book
 
Can Tigre find the strength and courage to support his family?
 
When Tigre€s father is badly injured in an accident, the family is thrown into turmoil. Who will plant and harvest the corn that they need to survive€"and to please the Mayan gods? The neighbors have fields of their own to tend, and Tigre€s mother and grandmother cannot do it on their own. Twelve-year-old Tigre has never done a man€s work before. Can he shoulder the burden on his own, and take his father€s place?  
 
€œA book of special artistic distinction, with its well-told story rich in Mayan folkway and custom and its boldly appropriate drawings.€€"The Horn Book
