Fantastic for reading aloud
Deborah Hopkinson's use of dialogue in this story is what really recommends it to be read aloud. The characters come through the story so well through their words. They usually don't come right out and SAY anything, but instead communicate vital information in a round-about sort of way. They pretend not to have a care in the world, all the while desperately plotting against their captors. ...

She could not be silenced
Many a young reader will be shocked by the opening page of this story about slavery in the U.S. For the auction block from which a 9-year-old girl was sold in 1806 was in Kingston, N.Y., not Alabama or Mississippi. Isabella was sold only after a long day in which no bidders showed any interest--until the auctioneer threw in a flock of sheep. She was separated from her aged, ill parents, who were ...
Four Letter Word: Invented Correspondence from the Edge of Modern Romance

stunning, surprising!
I was able to read some of the letters in advance a few months ago through the Times of London, and am so glad I bought the book too! The letters are definitely edgy and offbeat, but all are potent and worth rereading. The letter format is not at all gimmicky - I think each and every contributor rose to the challenge. Although some might be put off by the who's who of literature list of ...

An excellent resource
When I saw this book, I bought it straightaway, because labor history gets short-shrift in American society. I'm sorry to see it's out-of-stock, but am unsurprised. While this book is fairly mainstream in its orientation, it is very readable and thorough, covering the struggle of working people through the late 1800s to the early 1990s. I consider this book a good starting point for people ...
