This novel is based on a little-known piece of history. It chronicles, against the backdrop of 18th-century U.S.A., how enslaved 12-year-old Homer, escapes the plantation and comes to live in a settlement named Freewater. Hidden away in a swamp, the settlement is made up of escaped men and women. The book is a masterpiece of imaginative storytelling that brings this specific period of American history to life. Although a substantial read at almost 500 pages, Freewater is a highly readable book due to its well-built structure, speedy development, compelling events and fully developed characters. In addition to the pricelessness of freedom – its overarching theme — it also takes up subject matter such as friendship, courage, a teenager’s coming of age, and the ties that bind a family together. This audacious first novel by Amina Luqman-Dawson has won accolades for its artistry, including a 2023 Newbery Medal. The book also won the Coretta Scott King Award.
