Book description
Hear the wind whisper through Sarah's Mountain as M.C. Higgins balances on his forty-foot steel pole, the only place he feels truly free. This isn't just a story-it's a visceral journey into a family clinging to hope against the scars of strip mining, where every rustle of leaves feels like a threat. Virginia Hamilton, a pioneer who earned the Newbery Medal and a MacArthur "Genius" grant, crafts a narrative that's as urgent today as it was when it won the National Book Award. Now, experience it through the magic of audiobook narration: the crackle of the mountain air, the weight of M.C.'s fears, and the quiet courage of a boy who sees two strangers approaching with the promise of something extraordinary. One could lift his mother's voice to the world. The other holds a freedom M.C. has only dreamed of. You'll feel the tension in your chest as he watches them climb the hill, the same hill that's crumbling behind him. The narrator's voice doesn't just tell you M.C.'s story-it wraps you in it, making the wind on the mountain feel real, the hope almost tangible. Hamilton's words, brought to life with such depth and humanity, reveal how deeply a child's dreams can carry a family through the darkest times. This isn't just listening; it's feeling the ground beneath your feet, the sky above, and the quiet, unshakable belief that change is possible. You'll find yourself leaning in, breathless, as M.C. takes his leap toward something greater. Don't just read about resilience-live it. This audiobook is a gift for anyone who's ever needed to believe they're strong enough to reach for the horizon. Press play, and let Sarah's Mountain become your own.
