Unbound: A Novel in Verse by Ann E. Burg

4.0

This is the second book I have read by Ann E. Burg and I am just as pleased as I was with the first book. Unbound follows Grace, the enslaved protagonist, and her journey of working on a plantation in the big house, away from her family. She finds that her mother and brothers will be auctioned off and runs away to her family, escaping the clutches of enslavement. They join a community in the swamp and face constant threat of being captured again. Grace explores what "freedom" really means. This book will tug at your heartstrings and maybe even bring a tear to your eye.
