Customer Reviews

Excellent

I love the struggle in her journey to be free. Black people still struggle from time to time but in the end your strength is what carry you through the journey. I love the book. It is a family favorite.

Let's Escape

We are four girls in second grade who read this book. It is a really good book. It has excitement, and we learned a lot about Harriet Tubman. She was born in 1820 and died in 1913. She was 93 when she died. Here are some comments: "I liked the part when Harriet was going to escape and she followed Daddy Ben's instructions." "She was so happy when she saw Old Rit and Daddy Ben again."
