Turtle Cay, set in 1722, tells the story of eighteen year old Charlie who has been apprenticed to Ted, the local blacksmith/carpenter for the last ten years. One fine September morning he takes the stage wagon from his home village, Starbeck, to Portsmouth on what should be a simple half-day errand. Circumstances lead Charlie to the Blue Boar tavern on the notorious Spice Island waterfront. He finds a coin in the bottom of his empty tankard. Too late, he realises the significance of this apparent acceptance of the King's shilling - is attacked and knocked unconscious by a ruthless pressgang - and awakes on a Royal Navy frigate bound for Africa and the Caribbean. So begins a hazardous journey lasting three long years, during which he experiences many challenging and perilous encounters before finally returning home to Starbeck.... but what will await him there?

In Jennifer L. Holm's New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor winning middle grade historical fiction novel, life isn't like the movies. But then again, 11-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. She's smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all, it's 1935 and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. So when Turtle's mama gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids, Turtle says goodbye without a tear and heads off to Key West, Florida to live with relatives she's never met. Florida's like nothing Turtle's ever seen before though. It's hot and strange, full of rag tag boy cousins, family secrets, scams, and even buried pirate treasure! Before she knows what's happened, Turtle finds herself coming out of the shell she's spent her life building, and as she does, her world opens up in the most unexpected ways. Filled with adventure, humor and heart, Turtle in Paradise is an instant classic both boys and girls with love.

In 1838, the British government outlawed the slave trade, emancipated all of the slaves in its possessions, and began to interdict slave ships en route to the Americas. Almost at once, colonies that had depended on slave labour were faced with a liberated and unwilling labour force. At the same time, newly freed slaves in Sierra Leone (and later from America and elsewhere) were "persuaded" to emigrate to other British colonies to provide a new workforce to replace or augment remnants of the old. Some became paid labourers, others indentured servants. These two groups - one, English-speaking colonists; the other, new African immigrants - are the focus of this study of "receptive" communities in the West Indies. Adderley describes the formation of these settlements, and, working from scant records, tries to tease out information about the families of liberated Africans, the labour they performed, their religions, and the culture they brought with them. She addresses issues of gender, ethnicity, and identity, and concludes with a discussion of repatriation.
