Winner of the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2015. \"What kind of a girl steals the clothes from a dead man's back and runs off to join the army? A desperate one. That's who.\" At the end of the American Civil War, Charley - a young African-American slave from the deep south - is ostensibly freed. But then her adopted mother is raped and lynched at the hands of a mob and Charley is left alone. In a terrifyingly lawless land, where the colour of a person's skin can bring violent death, Charley disguises herself as a man and joins the army. Soon she's being sent to the prairies to fight a whole new war against the \"savage Indians\". Trapped in a world of injustice and inequality, it's only when Charley is posted to Apache territory that she begins to learn what it is to be truly free.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038712733879,"sku":"9781406314595","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781406314595.jpg?v=1756975714","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781406314595","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
