Laurie Halse Anderson's CHAINS



If an entire nation could seek its freedom, why not a girl?


Promised freedom upon the death of her owner, Isabel, a 13 year old slave, becomes the property of the Lockton's of New York City, a couple who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Isabel and her sister. Will Isabel find the strength to spy on her owners to help the Patriot cause?


CHAINS was chosen for the 2009 YALSA Best Books for Young Adults list. In its sequel, FORGE, the drama shifts from CHAINS’ domestic town houses to graphically described bloody battlefields.
