Unbound: A Novel in Verse by Ann E. Burg
5.0
So it’s been a bit since I’ve finished this book. I’m not going to lie. I was so affected by it that I couldn’t mentally handle writing a review immediately after finishing. I needed sometime to process and reflect. Now that I’ve had a break, I feel like I can.
5/5 - so many reasons.
- a unique way of telling a story
- never stagnant; always moving; always powerful
- incredibly real characters; characters that rugged at my heartstrings
- a story of a powerful little girl who didn’t let her age, race, gender, or circumstances stop her from fighting for what she loved; I think we all need a little bit more of that.
- a beautiful and haunting depiction of the nightmare that so many slaves faced
- heartwarming hope that was found in their freedom.
Yes, you should read it and pay homage to those whose voices were silenced and to those who fought and made their voice heard.
