A good read. Historical fiction.

An unforgettably moving story of an African boy who was kidnapped from his homeland by American slave traders. Decades of research re-creates the whole story-the horros of the Middle Passage, the boy's heroic fight for survival while shipwrecked on the islands of Saint Lucia, and the degradation of enslavement.
