Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson is a powerful and thought-provoking novel about a young girl's fight for freedom. During the Revolutionary War, thirteen-year-old Isabel is forced into slavery after her owner's death, only to be sold to a cruel couple who have no sympathy for the American Revolution. When she meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners in exchange for her freedom. As Isabel navigates this treacherous situation, she must confront the harsh realities of slavery and the lengths people will go to achieve their goals. This impeccably researched novel sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history, highlighting the complexities and challenges faced by those fighting for freedom.
