Confesssion...I have heard of Amistad but didn't know that much about it. A professor of mine recommended this book and then it arrived in a box for review for MSBA so yeah me.
This is a fictionalized account of a young girl who was captured in Africa, placed aboard a slave ship, and was on the Amistad when the mutiny took place. She was then subjected to the trial and waiting before finally being allowed to return to Africa several years later. During that time she learned English, learned to read and write, and eventually became a teacher in Africa.
I enjoyed this book. I learned something about the Amistad and it was told from a child's point of view. Very informative.
