Customer Reviews

A must read book!

This book is an excellent portrait of humans being self-centered. Using a historic event, the author adds a fictional character into the story and conveys the theme. This book is for all ages, and especially for people that likes African-American literature.

A great book on slavery!

This book tells us about a historic slave rebellion. The book's theme teaches us to be caring for each other and not to be self-center. This book is fit for ages below 14 and the author describes the setting very detailed and beautiful. I enjoyed this book and finished it within a day.
