 * //Trapped Between the Lash and the Gun//**, By: Arvella Whitmore

In this book by Arvella the main character Jorden has an unbelievable adventure that opens his eyes to his ancestor's history. You first meet Jordan in present time where he steals his grandfathers watch to pawn for money so he can buy a gun to join a gang called the Cobras. Then unexpectedly the watch brings him back in time when slavery was still going on. He runs into his great-great-great-grandpa and now he has to get the watch and get back to his own time or stay a slave forever.

Trapped Between the Lash and the Gun was an easy and short read. Yet in that time it did a fairly good job showing what being a slave might have been like. I wouldn't read it again but its a short read and someone might find it interesting. In the end I probley wouldn't recomend it to many peaple.
