The Man In The Box

During the Vietnam War, a Vietnamese boy must free the Man in the Box, a captured American soldier, and bring him to safety. A powerful tale of friends in the midst of battle, The Man in the Box won the prestigious Oklahoma Sequoyah Children's Book Award in 1968. It remains as memorable today -- and its message of compassion and friendship as fresh -- as the day it was first published. Includes a Foreword by Ardath Mayhar from the 2006 edition, plus a new Publisher's Foreword by John Betancourt.
