Washington would rather be playing basketball in the tournament instead of traveling to East Texas for a family reunion. He hates to read, but takes off on his own with a book to satisfy his parents. Washington travels back to the past where he encounters his ancestor Square and witnesses the brutal punishment of a slave when he is caught reading.

When he steps out of the circle of dirt, Washington fears he may never be able to return to the present or see his family again.

I ate it with my eyes, on paper. I ate it with my ears, on Audible. Everyone should eat DIRT.

This is actually my very first audible book. Like, the first book I’ve ever listened to instead of reading, not just the first one on Audible. I listened while I cooked and while I gardened with my hands in my own dirt and within 3 hours I loved the story more. In hearing I realized I lost an important part of the story when I read it. So thankful to pick up the story in whole. This is a beautiful story for any young reader and should be enjoyed by the entire family for inspiration to engage in your family’s history and to be grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and how they came to be.

The voice brings each character to life. Being able to relate to the story and characters puts Dirt over the top. Truly enjoyable.
