An action-packed story about a boy’s experience of slavery in Britain.

“Filled with humour, compassion and hope” The Guardian
Nathaniel doesn’t want to move to England with his master’s family, leaving behind his mother and sister on the Jamaican plantation.
But then he remembers what his mother told him: once a slave sets foot on English soil, they’re free. Perhaps he can earn his fortune and buy his family’s freedom, too…

Bursting with action and vibrant characters

With real events and historical figures woven into the story

Perfect for teaching children aged 8+ about the slaev trade in Britain
