Trapped Between the Lash and the Gun: A Boy's Journey

Rating:
Summary: A good story involving gangs, slavery, and time travel
Review: Arvella has written a wonderful novel about a modern day teen trying to cope without his daddy by joining a gang of cobras. With a time travelling watch, he goes back to the days of slavery and lives a rough life. This "slave life" teaches him that being with family and learning are the 2 most positive experiences in life. The characters of Jordan and Uriah are well written. Many teens should read this book.
