The second book in the trilogoy, Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson. * Anderson shifts perspective from Isabel to Curzon and brings to the page the tale of what it takes for runaway slaves to forge their own paths in a world of obstacles and in the midst of the American Revolution. The Patriot Army was shaped and strengthened by the desperate circumstances of the Valley Forge winter. This is where Curzon the boy becomes Curzon the young man. In addition to the hardships of soldiering, he lives with the fear of discovery, for he is an escaped slave passing for free. And then there is Isabel, who is also at Valley Forge against her will. She and Curzon have to sort out the tangled threads of their friendship while figuring out what stands between the two of them and true freedom * #McBooksters #BlackHistoryMonth #AmericanHistory #Reading #YA #Literacy #ChildrensLiterature #KidsBookstagram #Bookstagram #KidsLit #LiteracyAdvocate #DiverseBooks #BooksForChildrenOfColor #BooksForEveryone #RepresentaionMatters #Multicultural #Multiethnic #HistoricalFiction

I am digging in to THIS GEM tonight!!! Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remains in her world. Aster lives in the lowdeck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer, Aster learns there may be a way to improve her lot - if she's willing to sow the seeds of civil war. #McBooksters #ChildrensLiteracyAdvocate #DiverseChildrensBooks #KidsLit #YA #PagesInColor #RepresentaionMatters #KidsBookstagram #PublishInColor #MultiCulturalism #Ballet  #BooksforEveryone #SciFi #ReadingWithoutWallsChallenge #Multiethnic #ChildrensLiterature #MiddleGrade #Bookstagram #BooksForChildrenOfColor

 #TBT Virginia Hamilton edition 

Cousins? What can you say? They can be your first best friend's or first enemies, and back again. 

 The Girl Who Spun Gold is Virginia's version of the West Indian tale entitled "Mr. Titman" but we may all know the story Rumpelstiltskin.

 The illustrations are absolutely breath-taking.
