  Puffin is proud to present the official junior novelization tie-in to Amistad. Directed by Academy Award RM -winning director Steven Spielberg, Amistad is the true story of a group of illegally enslaved Africans who overthrew their captors aboard the ship, La Amistad in 1839. As a result, they faced a series of courtroom trials that called into question the controversial institution of slavery, and their rights as human beings. Their struggle is a testament to the universal need for dignity and freedom, and the human ability to find the strength of spirit to fight for these most basic of rights.
