      About This Book

      "Take up the pipe, Claudius," a voice growled near Jessie's bound head. "He's worth nothing without his pipe!"

      Snatched from the docks of New Orleans, thirteen-year-old Jessie is thrown aboard a slave ship where he must play his fife so that captured slaves will "dance" and keep their muscles strong and their bodies profitable.

      Jessie is sickened by the horrible practices of the slave business. But they are nothing compared to the one final horror that Jessie will witness. Can the cruelty be stopped? And will it be too late when it does?
