书籍简介

Winner of the John Newbery Medal

Winner of the Coretta Scott King Author Award 

Award-winning author Amina Luqman-Dawson pens a lyrical, accessible historical middle-grade novel about two enslaved children’s escape from a plantation and the many ways they find freedom.

Under the cover of night, twelve-year-old Homer flees Southerland Plantation with his little sister Ada, unwillingly leaving their beloved mother behind. Much as he adores her and fears for her life, Homer knows there’s no turning back, not with the overseer on their trail. Through tangled vines, secret doorways, and over a sky bridge, the two find a secret community called Freewater, deep in the swamp.

In this society created by formerly enslaved people and some freeborn children, Homer finds new friends, almost forgetting where he came from. But when he learns of a threat that could destroy Freewater, he crafts a plan to find his mother and help his new home.

Deeply inspiring and loosely based on the history of maroon communities in the South, this is a striking tale of survival, adventure, friendship, and courage. 

纽伯瑞2023金奖作品

作家阿米娜·卢克曼-道森 (Amina Luqman-Dawson) 写了一部抒情、通俗易懂的历史中级小说，讲述了两个孩子逃离种植园的故事，以及他们找到自由的多种方式。

在夜幕的掩护下，12 岁的荷马带着他的妹妹艾达逃离了南部种植园，不情愿地离开了他们心爱的母亲。就像他崇拜她并担心她的生命安全一样，荷马知道没有回头路可走，而不是因为监督者在追踪他们。穿过缠绕的藤蔓、秘密的门道和一座天桥，两人在沼泽深处找到了一个名为Freewater 的秘密社区。

在这个由以前被奴役的人和一些自由出生的孩子创造的社会中，荷马​​找到了新朋友，几乎忘记了他来自哪里。但当他得知可能会摧毁 Freewater 的威胁时，他制定了一个计划来找到他的母亲并帮助他的新家。

这是一个关于生存、冒险、友谊和勇气的惊人故事，深受启发，大致上以南方栗色社区的历史为基础。
