As of now i m only on chapter 27 but i defenilty recommend this book. I think this since it is a very good reading level for my grade (5th). Plus it shows of what slavery,The hanging of tomahs hicky and historical events that had happend in 1776. I thik that chains is also a good book/novel beacause it also shows and pictures in your mind of how Isabel had and was being treated from madam Lockton,and master. It gives really good detail and can make you paint a picture in your head of whats happening.
