      About This Book

      Kidnapped from Africa, a group of men, women and children are held in chains aboard the schooner Amistad. Only a boy named Ka-le knows the secret that could free them all.

      "Cinque has a file," he whispers. "It is hidden in his ankle iron.”

      On the night of June 30, 1839, Cinque cuts his chains and frees the others. After a struggle with the captain, the Amistad is theirs. But they are in the middle of a strange ocean, thousands of miles from home!
