Karen Hesse’s Newbery Medal-winning novel-in-verse, Out of the Dust, offers a poignant glimpse into the life of fourteen-year-old Billie Jo as she navigates the challenges of growing up in the dust bowls of Oklahoma during the Great Depression. Now part of the Scholastic Gold line, which celebrates award-winning and beloved novels, this book comes with exclusive bonus content. Billie Jo’s world is one where dust piles up like snow across the prairie, and a tragic accident has left her scarred both physically and emotionally. With her mother gone and her father unable to confront their loss, Billie Jo grapples with her pain and the loss of her ability to play the piano, her source of solace. As devastating dust storms ravage the family farm and those around it, Billie Jo must find a way to persevere. In the midst of the bleak Oklahoma landscape and the dust bowl’s destruction, she seeks peace and discovers the surprising landscape of her own heart.
