The Man in the Box. Marylois Dunn

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.
