ASHES By: Laurie Halse Anderson

ASHES  By: Laurie Halse Anderson
The conclusion of The Seeds of America series. If  you haven't read Chains and Forge, get going so  you can read this stunning conclusion. Isabel and Curzon are trying to find Isabel's younger sister who was separated from her when she was taken into slavery. Isabel has crafted papers that say they are free and she and Curzon set out to find Ruth. But the American Revolution gets in the way when Curzon signs up to serve. What happens to them is finely crafted in historical fiction. What is it like trying to fight for a country that tells you will have freedom after the war.  A must read. Ages 10-14 $16.99 Antheneum
