Every year Cassie's dad has to go down to Louisiana and lay down track. He does this because selling the cotton that they grow on there farm was not enough to pay the mortgage on there farm. Her us a important quote that Cassie's dad said to her to make her feel better about him leaving for almost the whole year "'Look
out there, Cassie girl. All that belongs to you. You ain't never had to live on nobody's place but your own and long as I live and the family survives". This was important to Cassie because then she finally realized that he did truly love her and he only leaves because he loves her.

   A couple of weeks after Cassie's dad leaves for Louisiana school starts. Since they are a colored family and have to go to a black school they don't get buses and have to walk a couple of miles every morning to get to school which must be brutal for the kids. So on the very first day of school the Logan kids were dreading having to walk miles to get to school except for Little John, Little John could't wait to learn. After walking for a while the Logan's hear a car engine and Stacy yells run hide get of the road! But there was now place for them to hide and a couple of seconds later the Logan kids are drenched in water from a the passing bus that came from the white kids school a couple miles away from the Colored kids school. As the bus driver saw the Logans walking an the road it sped up and slashed them with the water a near by puddle.

    After weeks of walking to school and getting harassed by the white kids school bus Stacy finally had enough. He got Little John Cassie and Christopher- John to help him dig a big ditch in the middle of the road and filled the whole with water so that the bus driver thinks that it is just a small puddle but it is really a huge whole that is about two feet deep and about four feet wide.  Later that day when they were walking home they hide in the forest where they dug the hole for the bus to get stuck in and waited they waited until the bus came along and fell in the ditch where the bus was severely damaged and the white kids would not be able to use it for about a week.
