Book Description
Winner of the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2015. "What kind of a girl steals the clothes from a dead man*s back and runs off to join the army? A desperate one. That*s who." At the end of the American Civil War, Charley - a young African-American slave from the deep south - is ostensibly freed. But then her adopted mother is raped and lynched at the hands of a mob and Charley is left alone. In a terrifyingly lawless land, where the colour of a person*s skin can bring violent death, Charley disguises herself as a man and joins the army. Soon she*s being sent to the prairies to fight a whole new war against the "savage Indians". Trapped in a world of injustice and inequality, it*s only when Charley is posted to Apache territory that she begins to learn what it is to be truly free.
