In this "searing work of historical fiction" (Booklist), Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Sharon M. Draper tells the epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known--except hope. Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a birthday present. Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money. The hope of a new life is all that keeps them going, but Florida feels so far away and sometimes Amari wonders how far hopes and dreams can really take her.Binding Type: Hardcover

Super fun!
Size: 8.5, Color: Red Pepper
These are so fantastic! The color is amazing! It is a bit on the tomato-red side of the color-wheel. The fit is great. They are comfortable from the 1st step. Easy to walk in.

Love the look but runs narrow
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy, Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy
Obsessed with the navy, it literally goes with everything. Quality is great too, really happy with how they’re made. Super cute too.
Only thing is my son has wide feet and they ran a little tight on him. If your toddler is on the wider side, might be worth sizing up.
Overall still happy with them!

Snug fit with ease of putting on
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy, Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy
These Amazon Essentials hook-and-loop athletic sneakers have been a fantastic everyday shoe for toddlers and little kids. The fit and comfort really stand out. The padded collar and cushioned insole make them comfortable enough for all-day wear, whether that’s running around at school, playing at the park, or just being on the move at home.
One of the biggest wins is how easy they are for kids to put on themselves. The hook-and-loop closure combined with the faux elastic laces strikes a great balance between a secure fit and independence, which is a huge plus for busy mornings. They stay snug without being tight and don’t slip off during active play.
The materials feel well made for a kid’s sneaker. The faux leather and mesh upper looks sporty and holds up well to daily wear, while the mesh lining helps with breathability. The TPR sole provides good traction and stability, giving a solid, supportive feel without being stiff or heavy.
Style-wise, these shoes are versatile and cute. The athletic look with subtle vintage-inspired details works with everything from play clothes to more put-together casual outfits. Overall, these sneakers deliver comfort, durability, and kid-friendly design at a great value. A reliable, no-fuss choice for active little feet.
