(3) 4-6 Taking as her inspiration the "great Negro plot" in New York in 1741, Rinaldi invents a slave, Phoebe, who ponders loyalty, self-preservation, and betrayal after a fellow slave is burned alive for conspiracy and names others in an attempt to try to save himself. With a believable historical setting, this engaging story presents its ethical puzzles in an accessible fashion. Bib.
