Rebel Cargo
by James RiordanThis powerful novel begins with Abena, a West African girl who is sold into slavery and transported on the notorious transatlantic sea-route to Jamaica's sugar plantations. Then the story turns to Mungo, an English orphan who becomes a cabin boy, only to be kidnapped and sold as a white slave. When fate brings the youngsters together, Mungo risks life and limb to save Abena from a terrible death. Together they plan their escape to the Blue Mountains, where rumor has it that a stronghold of runaways exists, led by the legendary Nanny. But can Abena and Mungo get there before the Redcoats and their baying bloodhounds drag them back? James Riordan, whose many collections of legends, folk tales, and children's picture books have won acclaim, extensively researched slave times to bring authenticity to this tale that unflinchingly describes slavery in the early 18th century. Riordan's simple, vivid prose and memorable characters recreate a troubled era whose after-effects continue to be felt today.
Rebel Doll
by Juana Inés DehesaLa historia de una pequeña adolescente que descubre que su rebeldía y mal comportamiento no le permiten apreciar el verdadero sentido de la vida. "Yo no había querido preguntar, porque seguro iba a pensar que era una ignorante. Pero por lo que había visto, ser radical era así como gritar muchísimo y decir todo el tiempo que iban a poner bombas en todos lados. O sea, sí, neto: bombas. Lo único importante era acabar con la aprensión y el neoliberalismo. Que tampoco sabía qué era y tampoco tenía ganas de preguntar". Seguir las reglas no es la especialidad de Lorena: actúa como se le antoja, dice lo que se le antoja y, lo más importante, piensa lo que se le antoja. Es por eso que sus padres, preocupados por su conducta, la castigan el resto de las vacaciones y ella debe aprender que no todo lo que brilla es oro. En el camino, Lorena se dará cuenta que las demás personas valen muchísimo más de lo que aparentan y por eso es bueno olvidarse de uno mismo de vez en cuando para comprometerse en causas ¿anarquistas y revolucionarias?
