Copper Sun by Sharon M. Draper Book Summary

A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021)

In this “searing work of historical fiction” (Booklist), Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Sharon M. Draper tells the epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known—except hope.

Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a "birthday present".

Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money. The hope of a new life is all that keeps them going, but Florida feels so far away and sometimes Amari wonders how far hopes and dreams can really take her.

Heart wrenching. The book has twist and turns that fill you with adrenaline, fill you with dread, and fill you with joy. I read and read, unable to put this down, Ms. Draper does an extraordinary job of making you feel you are right there through the first attack of the milk-skinned men, and through the sorrow of goodbyes and the release of freedom.

Great Read!👏🙌👌👍. I am SO glad I purchased this book. I never read the description so had no idea what was in store. I was taken on such an emotional journey. There were many ups & downs, even complete "mouth on the floor" shock at times. The author is extremely talented & wrote so vividly that I at times felt I was right there experiencing the same feelings as the characters in the story. I will definitely suggest this book to others.

READ THIS!. This book is reaally good, I haven't finished reading it yet but I wouldn't recommend buying it on iBooks. Library!!

I love the journey. I love the journey that amari and Polly went through it’s a really good book there’s one part that’s a little umm drastic but it’s good to teach kids about slavery

♥♥♥. Very good book.

Best book ever.. Currently I am reading this book in my history class in school. I love this book I bought it on my iPad and it is one of the best books I have ever read. It's got amazing twists and turns. It becomes kind of slow after the first 1 or 2 chapters but really starts to pick up towards the middle of the book. All in all it's a great book that holds your attention with great suspense. I would read it 100 times . Great book!!!

This book is great. I can't believe amari is pregnant with Clays baby

Awesome book. I am currently reading this book in my connections class ( history) n it is the awsomest book my teacher has ever read to our class.i would recommend this book 2 everyone !!!!!

Very Good Book!. I believe it was a little advanced for teens in eighth grade. Very realistic but mature content. It expressed very deep emotion and I love the ending. It shows the reality of life and how things go in real life.

Great story.. It is a great story, made me cry, and I would recommend this book to anyone. This story is such an emotional ride, it’s awesome. I enjoyed everything about it, and would like a movie that tells the whole story exactly like it’s written.

Must read !!. I read this back in middle school 9 years ago and I still love it.

👍👍👍👍👍. this book is fantastically wonderful . we had to read it in school & after one chapter , you will want to keep reading .

100% Extraordinary!!!. This novel is absolutely FILLED with amazing character and plot twists and turns. I am in 8th and I read A LOT. 5 books per month at the most, and this book, I read it in 3 days!!!! It was so amazing, this is definitely a must have to have on your bookshelf! The reason this book is so amazing is because Draper uses realistic language and literature to grasp your attention of the setting, plot, and characters. Yes, there are quite a few mature concepts, such as racism, and overall slavery itself and the brutality of slavery, but it teaches us how slavery was just not about black people working in rice plantations, slavery is about SO SO SO much more. This book is definitely important in our society today and is amazing to just read in your free time.

Best book ever. Love this book incredibly powerful!!!! Best book i ever read!

AMAZING. My eyes were glued to this book.

What?. Not feelin the book. A lot of racism in it and very hard to follow, I’m not stupid either, I’ve written and revised my fair share of book. It’s just like why would you read this if people don’t like racism, just pointless at this point. Now that you’ve read all of this maybe you’ll understand that it was a waste of time and a joke b/c I have yet to read it. Follow me on ig @boler__ and snap jayboler11

Inspiring. This book made me feel as if I was watching her journey right in front of me, like I was apart of it.

AMAZING. All I can say is amazing!

MUST READ. I read this book in my eight grade class and i all i have are positive things to say about this book. So many times i gasped or sometimes it put me in tears. This is a MUST read!!!

Copper Sun. This book was amazing! It was sad but very mature and eye opening in regards to history.

This book was AMAZING.. I'm currently reading this book and my friend recommended this book to me and I highly recommend it for anyone who really loves books that have twists and turns. Enjoy the book!

GREAT BOOK!. My English teacher is having us read this! Its so good! Once you start reading its so hard to stop, you just don't want to put this book down!
