The next issue of RUCKUS, The NYA's free online magazine for young people, out in late June, features an interview with Sarah Mussi, author of Door Of No Return, a novel that puts slavery in a modern context.
The book's young protagonist, Zac Baxter, discovers he is the descendant of a lost prince from Ghana who was captured and enslaved along with so many millions of others. Zac is, in fact, the inheritor of a vast fortune, but must undertake an exciting, against-the-odds adventure to win his prize.
RUCKUS talks to Mussi about what slavery means to a new generation, how the ghost of it lives on, and how the lessons should never be forgotten. Download it at www.youthinformation.com/ruckus.
