this book was so historically true as for as how slaves were treated and how some white people wanted to help them get free. This books brought tears to my eyes when Addy was made to eat worms. I just hope that I would be as strong as she and her family were. I think everyone should read this book. I want to read more and I have two more to read. I give this book 5 stars. I am in the 7th grade and I had this book for two years but just decided to read it.
