A Kid's Review
This review is from: Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom (Easy Biographies) (Paperback)
This is a good biography of Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman was a slave who helped 300 slaves through 19 trips to escape to the North, and not one passenger was lost. Harriet Tubman had a very hard life. As a child, she was punnished when she didn't know how to work in the plantation house. When she was only 7, she had to take care of a baby. At 15, she was hit in the head with a heavy weight when an overseer was trying to attack another slave and it cracked her skull. But she kept going and never stopped.
This was a good book because it made me feel the way Harriet Tubman felt she freed the people and tried to help them. THe book makes me want to do something like what she did to help people. I would have liked the book to have had more colorful pictures. I would recommend this book to a person who is interested in Harriet Tubman or who is interested in freeing people.
