★★★★★ Excellent Classroom Resource!
Very clear and well-written account of Harriet Tubman’s life.

…This is wonderfully well-done! It’s accessible to young readers without being condescending, and is jam-packed with lots of information about Harriet Tubman, her life, and the times she lived in. The format of a cub reporter interviewing a historical figure is very effective, and I’d love to see more books like this! —Amazon reviewer, emmeline
