Though this series is targeting young readers, the topic of this particular one, slaver, seemed at first to be a little age-inappropriate, but the author managed to hit the right note, without being either too gruesome for its young audience, nor white-washing things too much.  I only found one place where over-simplification resulted in inaccurate information (when explaining why Harriet Tubman’s exact birthday is unknown, it says, “Slave owners did not keep track of when their slaves were born.” — some didn’t, but some kept very detailed records).  And I’m willing to forgive what is usually one of my pet peeves, because they got one of my other pet peeves right:  the timeline in the back, listing different events in Harriet’s life, uses distance along the line to represent different lengths of time, as timelines should.  It’s illustrated with a combination of photos and drawings. Great binding.
