Great book written like kids would really write it.
I think it was a good book. I am eleven years old and I should know what it would be like starting school with an enemy. After all, I am a kid. My mom also got a big laugh out of this book.

Eva Is Awesome! So is Elisa!
I'd recently read Elisa Carbone's wonderful _Storm Warriors_, set on North Carolina's Outer Banks, and found _Last Dance_ at the library. It's just as meticulously researched and carefully crafted as _Storm Warriors_, not to mention just as much of a good read. Even though I'm a 44-year-old woman, I found myself admiring 13-year-old Eva and thinking what a good mentor she is. To say she ...

Dr. Ellwood Harvey, the real person behind "Dr. H"
My association with Stealing Freedom began while researching into the history of my G, G, G, grandfather, Ellwood Harvey. We have a two page photo essay (Philadelphia Inquirer 1938) which recreated the history of Ellwood helping a slave named Ann Maria Weeks (sic). It was Ellwood who took her from in front of the White House and to William Still's house in Philly. Two days later he took her to ...

A Teacher's Perspective
I am reading this book aloud to my fourth grade class. All fourth graders in our state study Virginia History, and we just finished covering Jamestown. This book is bringing the story alive to them more than anything else has before... including a trip to the settlement site itself! They are begging for me to read everyday. This book is historically factual and absolutely riveting. It is a must ...

Miriam's Review
I really liked the book Sarah and the Naked Truth. This book is about real friendship amoung three girls, who each have a special secret. Reading the story you see that you should always be your true self even if you are afraid. Also be prepared for some really funny parts!! P.S. This is also a really good book for bookgroups for children nine and ten.
