Hello all!

I've been asked by a teacher to suggest a fiction title suitable for
13/14 year old students (with a reading age of 10ish) dealing with
the slave triangle of British ships kidnapping slaves from Africa and
taking them to the Caribbean, sometimes via Britain.
I've given her Coram Boy to read herself, (but I think these students
would find that book too difficult to read independently, she might
read it to the whole class instead) but I wondered if you people
might be able to suggest something a little bit more accessible to
these children with a lower reading age.

Thanks very much for your help,
