Book review!

Copper Sun
By: Sharon Draper

The book is about slavery; some of the things that they went through and had to face. The main character is Amera! She plays a very good role through the whole book; some of the others are Besa, Polly, Teenie, Timothy, Mr. and Mrs. Derby, and Clay. There are many more! Amera lost her family and all her friends in the beginning; her and Besa were to get married that year. But solders came and tore up everything including them. During their journey and being sold Amera and Besa put up a hard and struggling fight. The sad part is they get separated at the auction! Amera has this hope that if she gets away she will find Besa, and then they will go together to freedom. What a BIG Dream!!! She does have that chance and she takes it and believe it or not she finds Besa. The question is do they make it or better yet does he go with her, and does he feel the same as before?
