A Single Shard

Hardcover

Author: Park, Linda Sue
ISBN: 9780395978276 Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

In this Newbery Medal-winning book set in 12th century Korea, Tree-ear, a 13-year-old orphan, lives under a bridge in ChÕulpÕo, a potters' village famed for delicate celadon ware. He has become fascinated with the potterÕs 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 Ñ until he finds obstacles in his path: the backbreaking labor of digging and hauling clay, MinÕs irascible temper, and his own ignorance. But Tree-ear is determined to prove himself Ñ even if it means taking a long, solitary journey on foot to present MinÕs 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.
