The Most Fun in an Historical Novel,
By Panda (NY, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adventures of Midnight Son (Hardcover)
Midnight Son leaves the plantation and his family under the cover of night on a horse named Dohomey his Father provided for him for this purpose. The story follows Midnight on his journey to Mexico where he has freedom and then back into America as part of a cattle drive. We follow this 13 years old as he winds up on a ranch and eventually becomming a cowpoke.We read this story out loud as a family with our 8 and 10 year old grandson and granddaughter. Both loved Midnight's adventures and I loved all it was teaching them about the last years of slavery in America and the life of a cowboy. Midnight is a very brave young man who shows great courage as well as helping so clearly teach children about life in the 1860's as America struggled with the issue of slavery. If you remove all the marvelous history lessons intergrated in the story, you still have a very compelling main character and a great adventure story. Midnight Son's story is a wonderful book to share with your children. |
