Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson


As you can imagine, any book that has received this many awards is bound to be good. Taking place in the Revolutionary War, our heroin is a young slave striving to stay together with her mentally disabled younger sister. Daily life of a slave and the challenges of right and wrong make for an interesting, heart-wrenching story of what so many slaves endured.
Warning: For those of us who like to read a series only when the next one is already published, be warned - the next book Forge is due out in October.
