This review is from: No me llamo Angelica/ My Name Is Not Angelica (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I have read three books by Scott O'dell and he's very good, if not great. I read this book when i was still in elementary school. My Name is not Angelica is about a young African girl taken away from her home and is sold into slavery once in the pre- Civil War South. It has been a long time since I have last read it. It is basically a story about one young African woman coping with being made into a slave. At the time it had been a real eye opener for me as a young girl. It is an opposite of Gone With the Wind. The one thing that I hadn't liked about it was that it was too short for me. I highly recommend this book to both young and old. There is also her betroved, a young African prince of his tribe that is sold to the same plantation/slave owner. It is a really touching story. Not at all sugar- coated. That's what I liked about the book most. Scott O'dell didn't really spare his readers the pain and suffering that his characters had to deal with. A very touching, historical novel about the ugliness of the Old South.
