In this "searing work of historical fiction" (Booklist), Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Sharon M. Draper tells the epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known--except hope. Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a birthday present. Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money. The hope of a new life is all that keeps them going, but Florida feels so far away and sometimes Amari wonders how far hopes and dreams can really take her.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great toy for larger dogs
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
This is holding up pretty well with my Great Pyrenees pup. She was able to pull all of the tags off-but the ball is intact for several weeks!

So much fun
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
Best money ever spent hours of fun. We have 3 dogs. They all love to play with this toy. We got the size 3 large is what we ordered. I'm not going to lie I thought it would be bigger when I ordered it. Two of our dogs are large breeds and the other is medium. It's not too big for the medium to play with it. It comes with a ball pump included so convenient. The little tabs are very durable. I can't recommend this enough. This has no squeaking or any sounds. It's nice that you can play with your four legged companion or you can have them play tug or just enjoy pushing the ball around. It is very versatile in play and stimulation.

Not for chewers
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow, Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow
My dog managed to pop this and completely chew through it in a matter of 4 days. It was definitely cute and she loved the size of it but with her chewing all the way to the core we have to get rid of it. I thought it was a good material but I guess I was wrong. Kind of sad considering the money spent only lasted 4 days

Great dog toy
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
The amount of stupid and cute these dogs look like when they shake this ball and smack their own faces! It took a hot second for either dog to understand where to bite on the ball, but now that they do, they both will play with it for a while. Great purchase, came with a pump to blow the ball up.
