LION ISLAND By: Margarita EngleI must admit that I learn more about history reading historical fiction than I ever did in school. This is true when I read Engle's new novel. Cuban, Chinese, and African history all comes together from the years 1871-1878. Told in prose by the voices of the children whose parents are either slaves or writing to help the slaves find freedom. Cuba from another view. Ages 10 and up. $16.99 Antheneum
