Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
This is a book about 13-year-old Isabel who is promised freedom upon the death of her owner, however what was suppose to happen does not happen. The story takes place at the beginning of the Revolutionary War and her new owners have no sympathy for the war or for Isabel and her younger sister. This is a fantastic historical fiction book. The background on the Revolutionary War is excellent and will captive middle school readers right away. The is one of my top five favorite young adult books.
