“Outside, the stars is still danglin in the purple darkness- not a trail of ladle stars, but loose stars, runaway stars, stars too stubborn to disappear.” — UNBOUND.
.
UNBOUND is a middle grade novel in verse about young Grace and her family who live as slaves on a plantation. The story is set in the south, pre-Civil War. Ann E. Burg’s novel shines light on a specific community of runaway slaves, called the maroons. They lived in the Great Dismal Swamp in VA and NC.
.
I fell hard for Grace and her tenacity. She is fierce, questioning, and loyal to her family. She knows her worth and fights for her freedom with unbelievable bravery. Burg’s prose is fresh and lyrical. I loved this story and highly recommend it. I’m eager to read the rest of her books!
