Reviews / Votes
"Olaudah Equiano's story is one that everyone should read & know, and I can't think of anyone better than [Catherine Johnson] to tell it" - S.F. Said"Expertly researched and written, accessible and absolutely vital" - Sophie Anderson
"Johnson's lively, lightly fictionalised account of Equiano's life makes gripping reading for 9+" - The Guardian
"Meticulously researched, richly imagined and beautifully written ... [Johnson's] nuanced approach will lead to thought-provoking discussions, and her engaging style means the book will fly off the shelves" - Reading for Pleasure and Progress
"An incredible story of survival and freedom ... recounted here as a powerful historical novel ... The narrative is fast-paced and immediate - replicating the constant unpredictability of Equiano's experience. [Johnson] doesn't shy away from the brutality he experienced, but her words are carefully chosen for young readers." - Film Stories, 'Children's Book of the Week'
