À propos de cet audio
The Newbery Award winner, based on a true story!
Captured by slave traders when only 15, At-mun never forgot his roots as a prince. Nor did he ever lose his princely dignity and the courage to hold his head high. Sold at auction in America and haunted by the memory of his young sister left behind in Africa, At-mun, now Amos, began his long march to freedom. He dreamed of being free and of buying the freedom of his closest friends.
By the time he was 60 years old, Amos Fortune began to see those dreams come true. “It does a man no good to be free until he learns how to live,” he often said, and he left a legacy of freedom for himself and others that has immortalized his touching story for us all. Recommended for Grades 3 and up.

The plot moves slowly at times and feels a bit flat in parts, which makes it hard to stay fully engaged. The book's message is clear and meaningful, but the storytelling lacks the energy and emotion needed to make it truly powerful.
Overall, Amos Fortune is an interesting read with a strong message about courage and doing what’s right. It’s a decent story, but it doesn’t quite live up to what it could have been.
Good story flat delivery.
