Unbound: A Novel in Verse by Ann E. Burg
5.0
5 STARS!!!
This was such a beautiful and heartbreaking read. Grace is such a strong and heroic character and I loved reading from her POV in verse. I'm not sure what year this takes place in but know it's about slavery and in some parts of the country it's been abolished but in Virginia, where this story takes place it hasn't been taken care of yet, which is the reason Grace and her family are considered runaway slaves and are trying to get to freedom, wherever that may be. In short, if you're looking for something that will tug at your heartstrings, bring tears to your eyes, and showcase a part of history people like to pretend never happened, then pick this up ASAP. I can't wait to get a copy for my shelf.
