Sheila M. Averbuch - author on Instagram: "FREEWATER Review: A beautifully written and paced, pretty much perfect middle grade adventure. @AminaLuqmanDawson takes inspiration from stories of 19th-century Black Americans living independently in the vast southern swampland where they kept themselves safe from the predation of plantations and the bounty hunters they employed. This is the >>best<< kind of historical fiction, sparking off real anecdotes in historical records -- (see the author's note about how history records a sighting of a Black woman near the swamp with a number of children who'd never seen a white person) --and spins a thrilling tale off of it. I completely loved how this is put together: the story is told from a number of perspectives, of young people who've grown up on plantations as enslaved souls, and young people born free in Freewater, the sanctuary their community has built in the swamp. Structurally, it has wonderful momentum and motivation: the freeborn girl Sanzi tries to prove herself and her skills, inspired by a local hero who does Robin-Hood-like raids on plantations and brings back supplies needed for the swamp. Then there's Homer, who with his young sister lost track of their mother during their escape from the plantation and (blaming himself that she went back for his friend) is determined to rescue her from the plantation. Amazing writing and characters and one of the best middle grade I have read in ages. Read it, buy it for your classroom and the young people in your life. A super Newbery Medal & Coretta Scott King award winner.
