Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Jessie Bollier, an excellent flute player, is kidnapped from New Orleans during the summer of 1840 and forced into service on a slave-trader ship bound for Africa. On board, Jessie is forced to be the Slave Dancer, who plays the flute while the slaves "dance" in their shackles for exercise. Winner of the 1974 Newbery Medal.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In a hinged wooden box upon the top of which was carved a winged fish, my mother kept the tools of her trade. Sometimes I touched a sewing needle with my finger and reflected how such a small object, so nearly weightless, could keep our little family from the poorhouse and provide us with enough food to sustain life--although there were times when we were barely sustained."
