When I read the final page of this book, I felt as if I had aged at least 50 or more years. This chronicles the life-long resistance of Peter Still and his struggle to help his family get freedom from enslavement. The book is written for children, but the mood and tone generating from it is clearly adult. It is more than just a tear-jerker, but something that will put sorrow and deep thought into your heart. I would recommend this book for children of all ages, but watch out for an unfortunate praise of Lincoln.
