Chains
language
( Jan. 24, 2012)
Chains come in many forms. To escape being trapped as a useless, ornamental 'lady', Juliet takes her brother's place on a shocking, dangerous voyage, slave trading to Africa. While escaping from her old life, through the horrors of slave trading and a slave revolt, she meets other youngsters on her life-changing journey; Polly, a child trapped in service; Dand, a Scottish farm lad kidnapped and sold in Africa; Hassan, proud son of an African slave trader; Bert, escaped ex-sweep, hoping to become an able seaman when he's 15; little Gbodi, eerily focussed on revenge on all the people who have enslaved her. Which of them will survive?
A strong, exciting, fast-moving story for young adults, of violent, callous times, which may challenge your ideas about slavery and those involved in many aspects of it.
