Unbound: A Novel in Verse by Ann E. Burg

4.0

Controlling your own narrative and writing your own story are two big themes in Unbound. Slavery is a system that kept people legally and mentally bound for years. One young slave can't help but question a system that forces her to forsake suspend her own sense of right and wrong to survive. When she learns about her master's plan to divide her family, she must use every ounce of courage to plan a dangerous escape. This book is a relatively quick read and a good choice for historical fiction. The word choices might be problematic, but overall it's a good read.
