Sarah Margru Kinson was an African girl who at about age nine was pawned away by her father who owed debt. She rode the Amistad and made friends with a boy named Cinque, and two girls named Kagne and Teme. She goes through lots of courts and at the end, after learning lots of English, gets home. It is written by Monica Edinger from the New Berry (she’s also are teacher) and you can find it online. I thought it was a great book and it is also Historical Fiction. COOL HUH?
