Second book in series. Describes famous scenes/battles in war.

Very enjoyable second book in the series. I really liked the quotes to start out each chapter. Any history/Civil War buffs would enjoy these stories. ( )

I do like historical fiction, but I don't like excessive descriptions of suffering, hunger, and grime. (Also why I don't watch Game of Thrones, nor will I see Snow White and the Huntsman.) That said, it is incredibly interesting to read about the role of slaves during the Revolutionary War, and the irony of fighting for freedom, knowing they were not really ever going to be free. Looking forward to the next book in this series. ( )

Phenomenal reading. Excellent research. Gritty story of survival and friendship. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first book and as I was reading the second book I loved it as well. The way the author has the story told from the point of view of a slave during the American revolution is a fantastic way to engage children and teach them about an important part of our history. ( )
