Harriet Tubman was my favorite historical figure growing up. My
go-to research paper topic was the Underground Railroad and I felt like I knew
everything about her until I read this book. I learned more about Harriet’s
childhood and her family life in this one book than I had learned in the
countless number of titles I read growing up. This book uses modern language
and style to tell Harriet’s story. It’s a book that we grownups can feel
engaged in and appreciate both the writing style and the fascinating, brave
woman it depicts. I wish my daughters still needed to write research papers,
because this is a great subject and a wonderful accessible title.
