Tellement bon et rassurant de savoir que les enfants vont lire ce livre qui explique avec justesse le commerce triangulaire avec des personnages fascinants et une plume poétique.

Novel·la juvenil d'aventures i històrica amb el rerefons del tràfic d'esclaus. Ben escrita i ben narrada.

I learned a lot about the French slave trade and the Middle Passage, but judging as an actual novel, it wasn't great. Also thought I was reading an author of color only to find out toward the end (which I should have just googled beforehand) that the author is white. I don't know, it felt weird considering the narrative POVs.
