Top authors donate their talents to explore the question in a compelling collection to benefit Amnesty International.</b> <p/>A boy who thinks that school is slavery learns the true meaning of the word when he stumbles on a secret child-labor factory. A Palestinian boy, mute from trauma, releases kites over a wall to a hilltop settlement, each bearing a message of peace. This inspiring, engaging anthology gathers an international roster of authors to explore such themes as asylum, law, education, and faith -- from a riveting tale of an attempt to find drinking water after Hurricane Katrina; to a chilling look at a future where microchips track every citizen's every move; to a hilarious police interrogation involving the London Tower, the Crown Jewels, and a Ghanaian boy with a passion for playing marbles. Features an introduction by British writer Jacqueline Wilson. <p/>With stories by: <br>David Almond<br>Ibtisam Barakat <br>Malorie Blackman<br>Theresa Breslin <br>Eoin Colfer<br>Roddy Doyle <br>Ursula Dubosarsky<br>Jamila Gavin <br>Margaret Mahy<br>Patricia McCormick <br>Michael Morpurgo<br>Sarah Mussi <br>Meja Mwangi<br>Rita Williams-Garcia<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Our book Free? is a reminder of what a huge leap was taken when someone wrote down our rights and the world agreed.
