Reviews
Grade 3-6-A lackluster collection of stories. "Message in the Music" is a particularly disappointing selection about a slave on a North Carolina plantation. Sally learns that her younger brother is going to be sold and decides that they must run away. In an overly simple plot, she easily flees, nurses her sick brother back to health, and finds fellow escaped slaves. "Dead Wrong," a story about a girl who lives in a Canadian lumber camp, offers a bit more excitement. Overall, though, the selections are just too neatly tied together and the characters too flat to inspire many readers. This title may appeal to the "American Girls" (Pleasant Company) crowd, but they will quickly move on to more challenging fare. Virginia Hamilton's Her Stories (Scholastic, 1995) is a much better anthology.
