We , the Wanted
by Matthew Schultz Illustrations by Jordan Lepore is a new book by John Hunt Publishing, telling the story sets in 1847 of Patrick Gallagher. That years have been known as the ones of the Famine and many irish people decided to afford to the USA, or Canada for finding a different and more prosperous future.
Patrick started his own trip in a ship directed to America but then the course of the events because of something that happened in the while, changed destination and...creatures that he, and the rest of the remaining people of that ship, would have met.
He will end in a forest, in fact, surrounded by magical and mysterious creatures, discovering also the complexity where they had fallen in.
Patrick didn't believe in the magic or in magical creatures, but slowly and with the help of Angela, a black girl, and ex slave, daughter of a famous lady practicing the voodoo will understand better forces, to him, unknown.
A beauty story, this one proposed by the publishing house John Hunt, with an illustration for each chapter.
Highly recommended book.
I thank John Hunt Publishing for the physical copy of the book.
