Unbreakable by Robin Zimbabwe and Hope Samoa!
Unbreakable is set in the 1700s, during slavery in Africa. Our main characters are from Sierra Leone, and I'm writing as the oldest sister in a big family shipped off to the Americas to be slaves. Robin is writing as the younger sister, Tawia, who is thrown off the slave ship with another sister, Elom. Instead of drowning, the sisters find a piece of wood and kick and push their way to land. Damisi (my character) is being sold as a slave along with the twin sisters, Abena and Abla, the baby Habika, their parents, and Auntie Panya. Will this family, terribly torn apart, find each other again? You'll have to read this book, which you'll be able to read (hopefully) by fall 2012.
The editors for this book will be my reading teacher, Robin's mom, and my friend from Kung-Fu class.
