Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad

Rating:
Summary: It portrayed Harriet's life in an easy to read format.
Review: Ann Petry did a great job in portraying all of the important happenings in Harriet Tubman's life in an easy to read way. Never did she leave an unfamiliar term wihtout writing what it meant, and yet it wasn't what lots of kids would say is too teaching, teaches too much for a novel. All kids interested in Harriet's life would love this book!!

Rating:
Summary: Courage and Faith
Review: Harriet Tubman is a wonderful book that begins slow but soon you won't want each chapter to end. Ann Petry has made detail part of the story. I personally stay up reading as late as my mother will let me. I highly recommend this tale of Harriet Tubman, a woman who's courage and faith in God made a difference in the world.

Summary: Great book, exellent page tuner for anyone!!!
Review: Harriet Tubman was a fascinating book. I personally like to read history novels and books about people's lives, but this is more than a history book. This book tells all about the horrifying life she had as a child; secretly learning how to read then seeing her mother get beaten for it. This is one of the most interesting books I have read so far about slaves and freeing them. What Harriet Tubman did for the huge amount of slaves was amazing and not reccognized enough until now. Harriet Tubman is a savior not only for the 300 black slaves but also for letting white people know what it was like during the time when there were slaves. Anyone who likes exciting books should really read this.

Review: Harriet Tubman was a wonderful women and this book hits the highlights of her life. This book explains her life while she was still conducter on the Underground Railroad but it also goes into detail about her life after she was a conducter. It is a wonderful story too! It did not seem like a factual novel but actually seemed like a wonderful story. I hope everyone will try to read this book.

Summary: This book was great, its very descriptive and lifelike
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Harriet Tubman is a great woman. The author of this book, Ann Lane Petry, is a wonderful writer. The life of Harriet was hard. She grew up as a slave who craved freedom. She decided that everyone should be free. Her goal was to help everyone to freedom and she acheved her goal. She has given lots of people freedom. She was the conductor of the underground railroad that was not really underground at all. This book is among the best I have ever read.

Summary: Harriet Tubman ***Conductor on the Underground Railroad
Review: I liked my book because it tells you that women in the old days did alot of work.I liked the book because it talks about some of my history.I also,liked the book because she wasn't just thinking about her freedom but other peoples freedom too. The one thing I didn't like was that slavery exsisted in the first place. I also, didn't like the the book because if you ran away the master will hire people to chop off one of your body pieces.

Summary: This was about a womens life in and out of slavery.
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It was filled with the reality of what it was like for people like Harriet in those times. I also enjoyed this book because I don't think many people realize how difficult it was to live as a slave, and then to go back of your own free will was unthinkable. yet many escape slaves came back to teach others or free them. That is what this book is all about the hardships she went through. I highly recomend this book to people who would enjoy a good book. If I had to change something I would want Harriet to explain in more detail, and from her view or first hand what exactly she went through.
