Summary: Follow the North Star to freedom!
Comment: I had this book when I was a child and I treasured it. This book introduced me to the life of Harriet Tubman, conductor on the underground railroad (she was so successful at helping people escape slavery that she had a price on her head), Civil War spy (an extremely dangerous undertaking when you consider that captured spies were executed), and servant to the poor. She instantly became my hero. The book is instructive without being preachy, and gave me a sense of Harriet Tubman's incredible strength of character, determination, and courage. In the pages of this book, I found a Great American. She has been a role model for me ever since I read this book. Consider giving this book as a gift to a child you love. The writing is easy to read, the illustrations are gripping, and the main character is a bona fide, real life, honest-to-goodness hero.

Comment: every child should have this book, every school, my daughter adores Harriet and this was helpful in showing her what led to the Civil War, the "whys" and the Underground Railroad. GREAT!

Summary: One of the Best Children's Books of All Time
Comment: I don't remember why I first picked this book up, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. I introduced the book to my teacher, and he became so interested in it that he read it to the class. The next time the class went to the school library, they borrowed all the copies of this book - 10 copies in all.
The author has a way of making the reader feel like he or she is in the story - if not as Harriet Tubman, then as someone close to her.
With all the junk being fed to kids nowadays, putting a book of this quality in front of them could pique their interest in reading.
