Review: Book Review 5-16-03

Freedom Crossing by Margaret Goff Clark is a historical fiction book that is about people helping a slave get to Canada. I thought this book was very good. I liked it because it had suspense and action. It was hard to put the book down. I liked it when the slave catchers came and Martin (the slave) almost was caught. Then Bert comes and takes Martin and puts him in the coffin like secret compartment in Laura's room. I liked it how the character Laura, a girl, stuck up for herself. For example, when she figures out her family is part of the Underground Railroad and her brother, Bert and her friend Joel have Martin a fugitive slave in the house she tells them that slaves are good. There is also alot of history about slaves and how people helped. I think kids ages 9-12 should read it or if you like history or action.

Freedom Crossing by Margaret Goff Clark is a historical fiction book. It's about helping a slave get to Canada. I thought this was really good. It was great because I learned about history and it had a lot of action and suspense, so you would want to read more. What I also liked is when I helped crack the code for the note Joel gave Laura. There was a lot of action like when they saw Walt (the slave catcher) looking for Laura and Martin. I would recommend this book to people who like action and suspense.

By Molly Ashland

The book Freedom Crossing by Margaret Goff Clark is historical fiction about a family helping slaves escape to Canada. The book is ok in the beginning, but it starts to get interesting and exciting after reading a chapter or two. For example, in chapter 4, Bert and Laura's neighbor comes to their house and almost sees the slave they were hiding. The book was my favorite book we've read yet.
