He has become fascinated with the potter's craft; he wants nothing more than to watch master potter Min at work, and he dreams of making a pot of his own someday. When Min takes Tree-ear on as his helper, Tree-ear is elated -- until he finds obstacles in his path: the backbreaking labor of digging and hauling clay, Min's irascible temper, and his own ignorance. But Tree-ear is determined to prove himself -- even if it means taking a long, solitary journey on foot to present Min's work in the hope of a royal commission . . . even if it means arriving at the royal court with nothing to show but a single celadon shard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780395978276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.70w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Massachusetts Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sequoyah Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Newbery Medal - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Reader's Choice Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2001 pg. 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2001 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2001 pg. 1483\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2001 pg. 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 313 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/10\/2002 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 767\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2002 pg. 1235\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2002 pg. 1608\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Home \u0026amp; School\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/09\/2002 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2003 pg. 1664\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 313 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e49768 \/ Single Shard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Linda Sue Park","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637019439260,"sku":"9780395978276","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f2ffcc9d-38f9-4025-869b-3627f64cdd57.jpg?v=1603843658","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-single-shard-9780395978276","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
