Ashes by Laurie Halse Anderson
5.0
Such a fantastic and important bit of historical fiction. My love for Laurie Halse Anderson knows NO bounds. She is up there with one of my favorite authors!
This series is vastly important for middle grade students. It's incredibly well done, and Anderson highlights the hypocrisy of the Founding Fathers and the Patriot Army- fighting for the freedom of America, while benefiting from its hundreds of thousands of its enslaved people, in a way that is respectful, yet strong. This is required middle grade reading, and great for adults who love historical fiction as well.
