This graphic history is an adaptation of a court transcript of a girl who took her slave owner to court in 1876 West Africa. She lost the case, but her story remained in that transcript until historian Trevor R. Getz teamed up with artist Liz Clarke to recreated Abina's life in this non-fiction graphic novel. I really enjoyed this book, especially with the historical context explained in the back. I don't read that many graphic novels, and I love how this book attempts to combine the lightness of a graphic novel with the complexity of history. I highly recommend this book if you're curious to learn more about African history but don't want to start with a big, scary textbook.
