Details: In a world where hope flickers like a candle in the wind, *Worthy: The Brave and Capable Life of Joseph Pierce* illuminates the extraordinary journey of a boy forced into the unknown. Written by Andrea Wang, the acclaimed author of the Caldecott and Newbery honour-winning picture book *Watercress*, this gripping narrative unfolds in the mid-nineteenth century, chronicling the harrowing tale of a young boy sold into servitude by his impoverished father in Canton, China. Known as "Joe," he finds himself at the mercy of an American sea captain, Amos Peck, aboard a ship where the promise of freedom hangs in the balance. As Joe navigates the treacherous waters of fate, he ultimately rises to become a courageous soldier in the Union Army and a symbol of resilience amid a tide of anti-Chinese prejudice. Experience the indomitable spirit of a man who claimed his worth against all odds.
