'In a period where humans were traded off as commodities and stripped of their dignity, Jon and Margaret chose to be anti-slavery supporters.'
I still don't understand why some humans treat their fellow humans as animals.

Filled with life lessons, today's BOTD is a YA novel that focuses on selflessness, sacrifice, and doing what's right to help make your community a place in which everyone is welcome. I think teens will enjoy this book; it would be a great addition to a classroom or home library. Thank you!

This review does a great job of highlighting the emotional depth and historical significance of The Foundlings and the Fisherman from Tumby. Jon and Margaret’s resilience in the face of immense tragedy, from losing their children to being exiled, is heartbreaking yet inspiring. I appreciate how the review discusses the shift in narration style, making it clear how the first-person perspective immerses readers in Jon’s struggles while the third-person sections provide a broader view. The mention of survival techniques and the dangers of human greed adds another layer of intrigue to the story. I also find it interesting that the book includes poetic elements and illustrations, which seem to enhance both the storytelling and visual experience. Based on this review, this book sounds like a compelling mix of historical fiction, adventure, and moral lessons. Thanks for the insightful breakdown!
