Jessie Bollier es un joven que se gana la vida tocando el flautín en los muelles de Nueva Orleans, hasta que una tarde es secuestrado por una tripulación sin escrúpulos. A bordo del barco negrero The Moonlight, su misión es obligar a los esclavos a bailar para mantener sus músculos en forma y asegurar su valor comercial. Esta cruda y conmovedora historia narra la lucha de un chico por sobrevivir a una travesía marcada por la injusticia y la crueldad humana. Escrita por la galardonada autora Paula Fox, esta obra es un clásico de la literatura juvenil que invita a la reflexión sobre la historia y la dignidad humana. Con una narrativa intensa y realista, el libro ha sido reconocido internacionalmente, recibiendo prestigiosos galardones como la Medalla Newbery, consolidándose como una lectura esencial para comprender las sombras del pasado.
