Critics Review
“This solid biography is a natural choice for classrooms, but it should find a ready audience among more casual readers, too.”– Booklist
“In addition to some of the more familiar aspects of Tubman’s story, this volume shines a light on both the dramatic aspects of freeing enslaved people and the emotional healing required of those who were successful in their quest for freedom.”–Kirkus

“This solid biography is a natural choice for classrooms, but it should find a ready audience among more casual readers, too.”–Booklist
