Slaves for the Isabella by Julia Edwards

What if freedom wasn't something you could take for granted? What if you had to fight for it?

If there's one thing Joe Hopkins knows better than anyone, it's that the past can be very uncomfortable. But life in wealthy Georgian Bristol seems surprisingly civilized. Lucy's house is light and airy, and there are sandwiches and tea with sugar.

He soon discovers, however, that this civility is only skin deep: Lucy's family is shockingly involved in slavery.

When he meets the African slaves her father has brought back from Jamaica, Joe swiftly finds there are other people in the house who are determined to see them gone, and to profit from their disappearance.

Can Joe and Lucy save the slaves from the horrifying fate that threatens them? And can Joe make Lucy see that freedom is what matters most?

Edwards, Julia: - Julia Edwards was born in 1977. She lives in Salisbury, UK, with her husband, three children and several deer that keep getting into her garden and eating her flowers. Julia Edwards is the author of The Scar Gatherer series, a sequence of seven time-travel adventures for 8 to 12 year olds. In the seventh and final book, The Ring from the Ruins, the hero, Joe, faces the might of the German Luftwaffe. The other six books in the series are: The Leopard in the Golden Cage, set in Roman Britain; Saving the Unicorn's Horn, set in the Viking Age; The Falconer's Quarry, set in Tudor England; The Demon in the Embers, set during the Great Fire of London; Slaves for the Isabella, set at the height of the Transatlantic Slave Trade; and The Shimmer on the Glass, set in Victorian Cornwall. When she's not chasing round after children or trying to shoo the deer away, Julia is wondering what to write next, now that The Scar Gatherer series is finished.
