| I stumbled upon this book about nine years ago. When I read it I loved it. As a fifth grade teacher I decided to add it to my historical fiction book list. It quickly became my favorite book to recommend for pre-civil war, slavery,& or underground railroad exposure. I cannot tell you how surprized I am that this book is not on a number one list somewhere... It is now one of my read outloud books for Black History Month. I have never read a book to my class where the children were so excited for me to continue, they would moan when I came to the end of a chapter and stopped. They did not want me to stop reading.
Clark does an outstanding job of pulling the children into the story. Her cliff-hanger chapter endings are sensational. They get so caught up in the question of slavery or how the underground railroad actually worked that it generates further research on their own about the subject matter. I truly love this story and enjoy sharing it with my students each year. I have also shared it with my fellow teaching staff and they can't beleive how wonderful the story line develops. They too are amazed at how engulfed the children get while reading the story.
Clark does an outstanding job with antagonist Walt, without his staunch view of slavery and runaway slaves Laura would not have a change of heart. Martin the runaway slave is so lovable, you can only hope Laura will help him to escape to freedom. The surprize twist in the story is sure to keep any group of kids on the edge of their seats.
I went to Lewiston, N.Y. this summer out of pure curiosity to explore the city for Tryon's Folly (home). The house was burned down and a new one now stands in its place.The underground cellars are still in place as are the stairs that lead to the Niagra River where Martin escaped to freedom.
This is a grab a cup of hot cocoa & a comfy seat kinda book, "you gotta read this one" cuz you anit gonna put it down! I encourage you to share it with your class, good for grades 4-6.
