Copper Sun

I just finished reading the book, Copper Sun by Sharon Draper and I think it's one of the best books I have ever read.

The book Copper Sun is about a girl named Amari who was living in Africa when some white soldiers killed everybody in Amari's village except her and a few other people. When Amari gets sold to slaveowners, she has to learn how to speak English and learn how to be a slave.



I really enjoyed reading Copper Sun because it was so interesting and full of very descriptive words that helped me imagine what was going on. I really liked that Copper Sun was full action, had descriptive language, and had an incredible ending.



One of the best thing about this book was all the action. Almost every part of the book had action in it. I really liked that because I never got bored and I always wanted to keep reading. There have been nights were I have stayed up till twelve o'clock even though I was tired because there was so much action and cliffhangers. An example of a good part filled with action is where Clay finds Amari, Polly, and Tidbit and was threatening to kill them. That was one of the moments in the book that kept me on the edge of my seat!



Something else I enjoyed about Copper Sun is the descriptive language. There is so much descriptive language in this story, and I really liked that because it helped me imagine what was happening in the book. An example of descriptive language is the when Amari gets whipped. The words and phrases they used like "I felt like my skin was sizzling" were so intense that I felt like I was in the book at that very moment.



The best part of the book and the part that I enjoyed the most was the ending. I think the ending was one of the best parts of the book because it was very happy and most parts of this book are very sad.



I think that Copper Sun is a very interesting and well written book!
