(4) 4-6 Dear America series. Set in 1763, this story is based on the true life of an African slave educated as a "companion" for a French girl. Traveling to America during the aftermath of the French and Indian War, they confront danger and uncertainty. Some of the internal dialogue seems too sophisticated, but this is an interesting look at a little-known aspect of French slavery in colonial times.
