(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Yuko Shimizu. After Kinchen's brother is kidnapped from their fantastical island world, their adoptive grandfather tells Kinchen the story of twins horrifically tossed off a slave ship in 1781. A third narrative strand emerges with a group desperately fleeing 1978 Vietnam in a boat. Bouwman keeps her characters' journeys--physical and emotional--front and center. Vivid interspersed black-and-white illustrations add to the drama.
