BHM & MGM 2026: I took me a long time to finish this one. It wasn’t the book. It was me. The Newberry Medal was well deserved. This story is a powerful introduction to historical fiction, multiple POVs, and slavery for middle grade readers. There is a character for everyone to resonate with and learn from. What a buried history/narrative to research here! I look forward to rereading this book one day. 4.5🌟
