Easy beach read!! Saw the twist coming about halfway through part 1. Glad I read it though!

Short but really eye opening history of the last Black man kidnapped from Africa and sold into slavery in America. Listened to it and the audiobook was really great. Would recommend.

Pleasantly surprised by this! Read it on a recommendation from a friend and didn’t realize it was THE Veronica Roth who wrote it. Loved the characters and storyline. Usually I hate word building books but this one felt palatable. Only complaint is that the ending felt like it came out of nowhere!

Cute story and a quick read. Just not that high quality imo. I think this would be great for a middle school aged student!

Short and sweet and a really great message I think we should all abide by.
