Ashes

Seeds of America, Book 3

De: Laurie Halse Anderson

Narrado por: Siiri Scott

Return to the American Revolution in this blistering conclusion to the trilogy that began with the bestselling National Book Award Finalist Chains and continued with Forge, which The New York Times called "a return not only to the colonial era but to historical accuracy."

As the Revolutionary War rages on, Isabel and Curzon have narrowly escaped Valley Forge - but their relief is short-lived. Before long they are reported as runaways, and the awful Bellingham is determined to track them down. With purpose and faith, Isabel and Curzon march on, fiercely determined to find Isabel's little sister Ruth, who is enslaved in a Southern state - where bounty hunters are thick as flies.

Heroism and heartbreak pave their path, but Isabel and Curzon won't stop until they reach Ruth, and then freedom, in this grand finale to the acclaimed Seeds of America trilogy from Laurie Halse Anderson.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

It was one of the best books I have ever read. It is graphic but not too graphic. I am 12 and could read this until I am 30!!! I is so good!!!!

Fabulous

This was an excellent series. I did not want to put the book down. It is amazing to think that slaves actually went through what they did.

really excellent historical fiction

enjoyed and appreciated the point of view of the characters and really felt good about where the author left it. wished there were more books to the series. characters were engaging and interesting. very enjoyable.

Nice

This was a terrific price of art that could make anyone think that life in the 1700s were tough

A difficult topic (slavery during the Am. Rev)

What made the experience of listening to Ashes the most enjoyable?

For the third time, Ms. Anderson has scored. I was excited to read the last book in this trilogy, and I was not disappointed.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end - but I can't say more without giving it away. Suffice it to say, this was a good ending to a good book (or really, set of three books).

Any additional comments?

If you are interested in the American Revolution or slavery, I strongly recommend all three of these books - Chains, Forges, and Ashes.
