This is a spellbinding yet simply written account of Harriet Tubman and how she led hundreds of slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book might belong with others about the Underground Railroad, about Tubman herself, about civil disobedience, etc. Students might enjoy finding out more about Tubman's life. Writing or discussion might center on speculations about why a person would do such extraordinary things. The issue of when it's acceptable to break the law might also be interesting. (Note: Teachers may want to point out the copyright date and discuss the term "negro" in that light.)
