The book Copper Sun is filled with adventure. From Amari's African village being invaded, her being enslaved, traveling overseas on a slave ship, and going on a dangerous journey for freedom, she struggles through life. Being only 16, Amari has faced everything in life in just a couple months. Amari's seen her family and friends slaughtered before her very eyes. After a dangerous choice to find freedom, she finally does. Copper Sun, winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, is a must read book.
In my opinion, I really liked Copper Sun because of its suspense, characters, emotion, scenes, plot, and for its word choice. I love how enriched the words are. I can truly say that Sharon Draper has a way with words. In each of her sentences you start spinning round and round for more as if you were addicted. Also, Sharon Draper showed me that you can always turn something from history into something enjoyable to cry and that appeals to the reader. From my experience when I started reading I was HOOKED!!!
Copper Sun, my favorite book by Sharon Draper, is the best book I've read so far. I rate this book a good 5 stars because of its good storyline. Sharon makes the characters go through these adventures that keep the reader reading. I especially adore the way she sets up the book in parts by the main characters point of view. Also, while reading this book I noticed how every bit of the story entwines together to make the story flow.
