Best for ages 10 and up

Isabel, an 11-year-old slave, has no family other than her little sister. It’s New York in the spring of 1776, and Isabel desperately wants her freedom. She just might get it if she acts as a spy for the rebels (those Americans who want their freedom from English rule). Whom can she trust? Will she win her freedom before her new master’s wife (a Loyalist) sells them off? Read all about it in this compelling, heart-wrenching, fast-paced, and well-researched book. Chains: Seeds of America is a winner of the Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction and is also an Oregon Reader's Choice Award (ORCA) 2011 nominee.
