Summary: Brady
Review: I enjoyed reading the book Brady. We read it as an assignment in my 5th grade class. The book kept me on the edge of my seat. It teaches kids to always tell the truth and to stand for a cause that you beleive in. It was an excellent way to learn about the history of slavery in the USA and the willingness of people to help others to have their freedom. The entire class was begging the teacher to keep on going. We did not want to put the book down.

Summary: Jean Fritz combines history with lessons for life.
Review: I gave Brady four stars because it starts out a little slow, and for that reason it might be hard for kids to see it through. But it is worth the effort. I like how Fritz comments on character as she shows the different attitudes about slavery before the Civil War. The end is exciting. Brady conquers his own character flaws, and learns to live for something beyond himself.

Review: I gave it only 4 stars since I don't remember it all that well. I read it for a book report in 5th grade, and I liked it alot, it wasn't difficult. (I got a A+ on the report! ) Good historical fiction dealing w/ the underground railroad.
