Forge

Forge, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is a historical fiction sequel to the book Chains. It is about runaway slave, Curzon Bellingham, joining the militia and then forced to be taken back as a slave by his old Master, James Bellingham. Curzon must run away after reuniting with his runaway mate, Isabella Bellingham. This book kept me reading because of its great details of describing the experience as a soldier and a slave. This story had a pinch of action and war as well as a historical storyline. -Nithya
