M.C. Higgins The Great, by Virginia Hamilton has won 3 book awards. I think it has wond so many awards because it teaches kids to treat children who are different nice. The setting of the story is at Sarah's Mountain. The main characters are M.C. and his family, Ben, Loretta Outlaw, Lewis and the Killburn tribe.
At the beginning of the book M.C. met a boy named Ben. Ben is also part of the Killburn tribe. They are best friends. They do everything together. In the middle of the book he saves a girl named Loretta from drowning. And at the end she leaves. There is also a huge junk pile that could bury their house one day. So M.C. builds a huge wall of dirt and wood. He knows it will protect them.
M.C. learned at the end of the book that everyone has differences and things in common. M.C.'s family thought different, they thought the Killburn tribe was all different. The Killburn tribe all had twelve fingers total, and all had red hair and everyone thought they were witchy. M.C. and the tribe will be friends forever.
