Ann Fights For Freedom an Underground Railroad Survival Story Is one of the most Diverse Unground Railroad पुस्तकें I have ever read! Most of Ann's helper's are African American! Quite refreshing for someone who's done research on the Underground Railroad before. Nikki Shannon Smith wrote the most action packed narrative on the Underground Railroad I've ever read! When Ann and her family need help आप don't know who will help them, या if they'll be captured. The detail is exquisite! I've never seen a suspense element done in an Underground Railroad story at all before, it makes it easier to keep engaged. It should be mentioned that aside from सुरक्षित houses having signals for runaway slaves, the Underground Railroad didn't have structure. One of my personal favorites.

When I first held the book, and saw how small it was I thought I was getting a "Learning How Read" book, because it only had ten chapters. Even though the story has a happy ending, the sadness of The Trail of Tears Lingers. Mary's Grandfather is shot! Tsalli dies of a mysterious illness! This is the saddest and most impactful book I have ever read! I in fact was not convinced द्वारा the happy ending, and asked Andrea L. Rogers who had followed me on Twitter " What happens to Mary and her family after the Trail of Tears? Something like that would cause PTSD, anxiety, Depression etc. Will आप Mary and her family be OK?" she replied "Mary grew into a very strong woman who lived a long life." After that answer I am free to imagine Mary doing whatever she wanted in life!
