Copper Sun Review
I read the book, Copper Sun, and enjoyed it very much. I thought it was well worded and interesting. There were some brutal and disgusting parts, but overall it was extremely good. At times, it would get slightly boring; but, then when you least expected it, something very suspenseful would happen. I liked all of the characters, and I thought the roles they played in the book really helped bring the story to life! Often when I was reading this book, I would find myself trying to talk to the characters because I would get so into it. It was a very sad book. I thought the story helped portray the titles meaning. It was a well suited title. It made me realize how awful slaves lived back then. As much as I loved the book, I was a little disappointed in the ending. The part that had to do with the copper sun was fine. But, I would have liked to know what happened with Amari and her baby, Tidbit, Polly and especially Clay. I thought we were cut a little short with the way it closed. For the most part, I really enjoyed this novel and would love to read another one by this author. ADS

Copper Sun Overview
Stolen from her village, sold to the highest bidder,
fifteen-year-old Amari has only one thing left of her own -- hope.
Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and living in a beautiful village, she could not have imagined everything could be taken away from her in an instant. But when slave traders invade her village and brutally murder her entire family, Amari finds herself dragged away to a slave ship headed to the Carolinas, where she is bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a birthday present.
Survival seems all that Amari can hope for. But then an act of unimaginable cruelty provides her with an opportunity to escape, and with an indentured servant named Polly she flees to Fort Mose, Florida, in search of sanctuary at the Spanish colony. Can the illusive dream of freedom sustain Amari and Polly on their arduous journey, fraught with hardship and danger?

I enjoyed Copper Sun! - T. Thomas - Duluth, Georgia
Copper Sun was the second of three Sharon Draper novels that I read for a Young Adult Literature class that I am taking. I liked the story. If I hadn't read so many books that were just like it, then I would probably love the story. From the very beginning of Copper Sun, I felt that it was formulaic and very similar to books that I have read before it, such as Obi, or the History of Three-Fingered Jack, Roots, or Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. As a result of that observation, I continued to read the novel cautiously. I was surprised to see that Sharon Draper went her own way with this story and focused on themes of feminism, motherhood, and faith against seemingly insurmountable odds. I would definitely use this novel as a fictional accompaniment to lessons on slavery and the Middle Passage with an older group of students.

"Copper Sun" was full of historical and realistic action. It has a lot of describing words and is a very detailing book. This book is very realistic. The main character goos through a lot of adventures. This book has a little too much action, so that's why I recommend it for 5th grade and up. It also has some advanced words.
