Many times books meant for young people don't have an interest for older adults - like the parents! This book is different. In fact this book begs to be read simultaneously by parents and kids, or read aloud by parents and their kids together. The wealth of opportunity for meaningful discussion of goals, opinions, values, and yes - history - should not be left unused. Send 'Em South is well written and surprisingly suspenseful and interesting. I am a mother with grown sons, but wish I had had this book to share with them as they were growing up.

This was an excellent book that I would recommend to anyone. Its around a middle school reading level, but could easily be enjoyed by older students, or anyone interested in the Pre- Civil War. The book is well written, and keeps you wondering what will happen to Lisa and David, until the very end. This book shows that friendship goes beyond race, and but also shows just how cruel people can be to people of other races and nationalities. Overall, I loved the book. I give it a definite five stars.

I read the first book in the 'Young Heroes of History' series; 'Send 'Em South.' I LOVED it!!! I couldn't put it down!!

The adventure captivates the reader in a whole new world, time, place, and setting, making you feel like you are in the book, experiencing the thrilling adventure, right along with the characters! Altogether, making this an incredible book, and series. I HIGHLY recommend it. I give it 5 stars! (It's the best!)

I liked the action in the book. I also liked the actions of the people helping the slaves.

This book not only totally involves you with a great story, thoughtful writing, and a surprising amount of suspense, but begs the reader to further discuss and reflect on their own values and view of the impact of slavery on the American experience. I am a mother of grown sons, and wish I had this book to share with them as they were growing up.
