I have loved this book since I was three??

I really enjoy the Nell, I did not like Ripley and I did like Mia but the conflict final battle was 1 spell and a page long so it was an OK overall book.

I like this book because I used to play the game too.

Gossie is looking for her bright red boots. I like it.

I like the horsey!

The chicks in the book were very cute. My son's favorite chick was Leonard. It was a very cute story about the mother chicks getting food for their babies.

My favorite by Amy Anguish so far! This adaptation of the Cinderella tale is inspiring and hopeful. It was fun to see how Anguish fit all the pieces together to create a fresh retelling.

Wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. My kids and I found it a great introduction to Lincoln's early life as well as a very enjoyable read.

It was really good.

I came across this book on the shelf as part of one the librarian's displays for Black history month. There is a television show by the same name, which I hadn't realized was based on this novel. This was a captivating and emotional story. Whitehead masterfully depicts the underground railroad as a literal locomotive rumbling beneath the southern states with the purpose of capitalizing on the premise that "all men are created equal." Although it's a noble intention, it's a criminal enterprise in light of the Fugitive Slave Act. Those who ride it's rails endure peril after peril. The central character is Cora, a passenger on the train whom we ride along with as she seeks her freedom. We also hear the stories of Cora's mother, another escapee, and grandmother, who was stolen from Africa. I would definitely recommend this one. Whitehead wrote in such a way where even though it's a creative historical take, he preserves the plight and struggle of African Americans. It's an important perspective, because it's ignorant to pretend that over a century of injustice, bondage, and disenfranchisement wouldn't leave it's footprint on the African American community to this day.
