Eager to celebrate her 13th birthday, Aggie is disappointed when her parents break their promise to her by not giving her the gift she really wanted. Mad at the world, Aggie goes to school and is sent to detention hall for disrespecting her teacher. Aggie accidentally falls and bumps her head, then wakes up in a dream where she is transported back to the year 1816 as a slave on a plantation in Goochland, Virginia. As a slave, Aggie is forced to adapt but not before learning some valuable and very harsh lessons in life.

A Must Read!!
My initial thought when I read the title was this book is for kids not an adult; however boy was I wrong. This book was so captivating I envisioned myself as being Aggie 1816. This book should be used as a teaching tool for kids, some kids don't understand what our ancestors had to go through this book will help to enlighten them. I recommend everyone read Mulatto Girl Aggie, 13 Name on the Ledger.
