Jupiter Williams and his brother Robert attend the African Academy in Clapham. It's 1803 and the campaign against the slave trade is gathering momentum. Jupiter's own family has fought its way out of slavery in the Americas and gone through Nova Scotia to Sierra Leone, home of an African diaspora and an emerging merchant class. Jupiter's father is one of that class.
My thanks to the nice people at Hodder for sending the book.
Children interested in black history shouldn't miss the Mildred D Taylor classic [[Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry]]. We also have a review of [[Jupiter Amidships by S I Martin]].
