NZINGHA: WARRIOR QUEEN OF MATAMBA, ANGOLA, AFRICA1595 by Patricia McKissak

If you enjoy reading diaries, then this is the book for you. Young thirteen-year-old Nzingha, a princess in Angola, Africa fights for her people’s land within the walls of her own castle. When she goes to a Portuguese priest to make a peace establishment, she learns from one of the priest’s servants tell her about slavery. Nzingha is shocked and goes against slavery until she dies. This book includes some illustrations, along with an epilogue for more information about Nzingha’s life.

I think that one of my favorite parts of the book is when a prince comes to Nzingha’s castle. The prince’s name is Prince Azeze. When he sees that there is no place to sit, he gets a servant to bend down like chair to sit on.

I think girls who are 9-10 years old will enjoy this book.
