About this title

Synopsis:

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Kidnapped by the crew of an Africa-bound ship, a 13-year-old boy discovers to his horror that he is on a slave ship and his job is to play music for the exercise periods of the human cargo.

From the Publisher:

Snatched from the docks of New Orleans, thirteen-year-old Jessie is thrown aboard a slave ship where he must play his fife so that captured slaves will "dance," and keep their muscles strong and their bodies profitable.

Jessie is sickened by the horrible practices of the slave business. But they are nothing compared to the one final horror that Jessie will witness. Can the cruelty be stopped? And will it be too late when it does?
