When Martha Tom helps Lil Mo and his family escape from the plantation across the river, it's just the beginning of a Choctaw adventure of a lifetime.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartha Tom knows better than to cross the Bok Chitto River to pick blackberries. The Bok Chitto is the only border between her town in the Choctaw Nation and the slave-owning plantation in Mississippi territory. The slave owners could catch her, too. What was she thinking? But crossing the river brings a surprise friendship with Lil Mo, a boy who is enslaved on the other side. Then Lil Mo discovers that his mother is about to be sold and the rest of his family left behind. But Martha Tom has the answer: cross the Bok Chitto and become free.\u003c\/p\u003e Crossing to freedom with his family seems impossible with slave catchers roaming, but then there is a miracle--a magical night where things become unseen and souls walk on water. By morning, Lil Mo discovers he has entered a completely new world of tradition, community, and ... a little magic. But as Lil Mo's family adjusts to their new life, danger waits just around the corner. In an expansion of his award-winning picture book Crossing Bok Chitto, acclaimed Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle offers a story that reminds readers that the strongest bridge between cultures is friendship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tu Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620148235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019 pg. 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/14\/2019 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 pg. 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tim Tingle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36662505439388,"sku":"9781620148235","price":17.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2dbb667d-fb00-469f-bbdb-e9a7585a3e6e.jpg?v=1603902038","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/stone-river-crossing-9781620148235","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
