Tree-ear, an orphaned Korean boy in the 15th Century, lives under a bridge and depends upon the local dumping ground for food. With the help of his old friend, Crane-man, Tree-ear grows in wisdom, character, and dreams. To become the apprentice to the grumpy, often abusive master potter Min is more than he could ever hope for. Yet, through a fortunate accident, sacrifice, and hard work, this door is opened to him. Will Min ever allow to Tree-ear to make a pot? Can Tree-ear accomplish the enormous challenge placed upon him? Winner of the 2002 Newbery Medal, Single Shard is a masterpiece of historical fiction that will encourage its readers to embrace loyalty, integrity, justice, responsibility, humility, and courage.
