Stealing Freedom

Rating:
Summary: I loving it.
Review: Ann Maria Weems is a slave in America. Her family is bought and freed, but her master refuses to free Ann. So Ann conceives of a daring plan - she will steal her freedom from her master and escape on the underground railroad. I loved this book because of the excitement of the escape, constantly changing disguises as she travels north by carraige and by train. The book has a happy but exciting ending. It's perfect for a 10 year old avid reader-like me!

Review: I am still in the process of reading the book but every one at my school was telling me about how good this book is so after a test I asked my teacher if I could read Stealing Freedom while the rest of the people finish there test. I fell in love with the book in the first chapter. I think I like this book alot because I am an african amrican so I think it in a way relates to my race and I. I would recomend this book to anyone...

Summary: Stealing My Heart
Review: I highly recomend this book. When Ann finally said goodbye to her family I could not stop crying. It is a wonderfully written book, it makes you feel as if you are there. I do wish she had expanded on the ending though. It was one of the best books I have ever read and I hope it is the same for you too.

Summary: Great book...
Review: I picked up this book in the library when I couldn't find much else I wanted to read and I didn't think that it would be that great....I was wrong! This book kept my interest and I could hardly put it down. There were times when tears when in my eyes..other times I wanted to laugh. It is a very touching book and one you won't forget soon.

Summary: Good for All Ages
Review: Stealing Freedom is good for all ages. I stayed up extra hours reading it. I felt as though I were Ann and that I was inside the book instead of somebody reading about it. I loved how funny Uncle Abraham was. I like the Master Richard because the author pictured him as both good and bad. He's a character who picks a fight, who always has to win or he makes his older brother Master Charles whip the slaves, but then he will sneak out during the day and catch tadpoles with the Ann and her brothers.

Summary: I gave four stars
Review: Stealing Freedom make me feel like slavery was a horriable thing. I liked this book from the inside flap to the outside flap. When Ann's parents left, Ann is stuck there with her master. She writes letters to her parents telling them that they would be seeing her soon. This book would teach a great life of how black people feel.
