Brian Jacques
Expect a fast-moving sea adventure in which Ben and Ned face separation, exploitation, danger and bereavement. Alongside fantasy and historical atmosphere, the story gives considerable weight to compassion and protecting others.
Valerie Tripp, The American Girls Collection
This is a historical adventure about choosing how to help someone in trouble when friendship, family loyalty and political loyalties pull in different directions. Its plantation setting also opens onto slavery, though enslaved people remain in the background of Felicity’s experience.
Mary Prince
A powerful testimony about enslavement, bodily suffering and the struggle for freedom, carried by Mary Prince’s distinctive voice but shaped by an editor and abolitionist publication context.
Anna Fargher
This is an emotionally charged historical animal adventure: Delta uses courage and resourcefulness to search for separated friends while Pompeii faces catastrophe. It offers suspense, relationships and a window onto Roman life, including the unequal position of enslaved people.
Donita K. Paul
This is a fantasy adventure about responsibility, leadership and resisting harmful power. Its imaginative appeal comes from dragons, magic and a team quest, while danger and enslavement create a darker backdrop.
