It seemed like something happen hades and persephone didn't actually conversate about it, it was alot of hades did something that hurt her so she did something back to hurt him. It did seem she got a bit better at end of book but was frustrating throughout book. Still going to read next book but I don't know if would reread.

To my regret, sixteen years ago in Ms. McCullough's 10th grade English class, I cheated on my book report and didn't actually read this book as intended by the assignment. Instead, I read the SparkNotes version. My twisted moral reason being that this lie was better than reading a book with "witchcraft and magic." Such material was prohibited in my upbringing. Years later, I saw the film as an adult along with the other Lord of the Rings films and was quite fascinated with the tale of courage and found middle earth completely captivating. During this winter reading challenge, I was delighted to find the book on Libby and had every intention of correcting this wrong of sixteen years ago by reading it (listening). It wasn't until I was about halfway through that I realized it was a 1968 BBC radio dramatisation that, while apparently a classic in its own rite, leaves a great deal of content out from the original book. I hope this is still considered an audiobook as it was on Libby, but I was dismayed to find that it was not, in fact, the original book. The task remains for me to read the other book, but I did enjoy this retelling nonetheless.

I don’t like the mean goblins

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.

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.
