![]() ![]() When the plantation owner decides to bring Chinese workers in, are they competition or potential allies? But she does have spirit and dreams – dreams of playing all day, going to school, and even of making new friends. Orphaned Sugar doesn’t have the resources or family to leave. Slavery ending doesn’t seem to have changed much, other than all of her friends moving away. The ten-year-old narrator of this novel is named after the type of plantation she works on: Sugar.
