Adom is a young African boy, living in the early 1600's. He loves his simple life, surrounded by a loving family and friends and the protection of his tribe.
But things are about to change for Adom, and for countless thousands of other Africans, who have their lives turned upside down when English slavers arrive on the coast in great ships.
Ripped apart from everything that he has ever known, Adom is soon to be transported to a 'New World' filled with strange things, endless days of toil and extreme brutality.
Find out what happens to Adom and his family, as they begin a perilous journey to this new world, where nothing will ever be the same again.
This series of children's books is a great way for youngsters to begin to understand the history of slavery and why so many were uprooted and transported around the world for the sake of profit.
