Underground abductor : an abolitionist tale

Underground abductor An abolitionist tale

Nathan Hale, 1976-

Book - 2015

Araminta Ross was born a slave in Delaware in the early 19th century. Slavery meant that her family could be ripped apart at any time, and that she could be put to work in dangerous places and for abusive people. But north of the Mason-Dixon line, slavery was illegal. If she could run away and make it north without being caught or killed, she'd be free. Facing enormous danger, Araminta made it, and once free, she changed her name to Harriet Tubman. Tubman spent the rest of her life helping slaves run away like she did, every time taking her life in her hands.

Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-8-Before she was a fierce denizen of the underground railroad, Harriet Tubman, born Araminta Ross, was a survivor of slavery and a narcoleptic with religious visions. Hale uses his cheeky framing device to propel the narrative and make it entertaining but doesn't shy away from fantastic depictions of Tubman's dreams and the dangers she faced. © Copyright 2016.

Review by Horn Book Review

In this fifth graphic novel, Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale continues to distract his executioners; here the focus is on slavery in America and Harriet Tubman's courageous abolitionist work. As in previous volumes, irreverent humor makes a complicated story more accessible. Readers will appreciate the compelling history lesson (provided they're not put off by the small panel illustrations and tiny type). Reading list. (c) Copyright 2016.
