Harriet Tubman Secret Agent How Daring Slaves and Free Blacks Spied for the Union During the Civil War Thomas B Allen 9780792278894 Books Reviews

"Harriet Tubman, Secret Agent" is an excellent introduction to a largely ignored historical subject, written with children in mind. But don't let this put adult readers off even with its simple wording and abundant explanations of concepts and topics new to children, it is still interesting and informative on an adult level... unless, of course, the reader might be an expert on the underground railroad, civil war spying, and other related topics. As one who has read only lightly on these topics, I found it interesting and not too elementary for me.

The only problem with the book, produced by National Geographic, is that it has a printing flaw page 113, the first page of chapter 10, is repeated as page 130. After page 129 ends in mid-sentence, page 131 picks up with a new sentence, revealing that there is a lost page of text that never shows up anywhere in the book. If one doesn't mind losing a page, the value of the book is unmarred.

At 192 total pages, of which 168 are story and illustrations, and the remaining 24 contain 5 appendices and an index, there is much to enjoy even without the missing page. Harriet Tubman is presented as a woman of extraordinary courage, determination and strength who became a nineteenth century Moses to a group of people who had no hope. Her journey through slavery and its inherent abuses, is inspiring and touching. My wife & I, as well as, I am sure, millions of other freedom loving Americans, only wish we could somehow meet this remarkable soldier (for a soldier is exactly what she was) and express our appreciation and admiration. The subject of spying during the Civil War is also covered in general terms.

One other benefit of reading Thomas B. Allen's work I searched out an adult version of the story which arrived today, ordered on "Harriet Tubman Portrait of An American Hero Bound For The Promised Land" by Kate Clifford Larson, copyright, 2004. I plan to read it after I finish the current book I just started yesterday.

Five Stars for great writing.
Great nook
Good read
Excellent reference and excellent reading for teaching units of upper elementary and middle school. Simply written and quite enjoyable reading even for adults.
Used it for my after-school middle school program for leadership and creativity class. Readable and relevant.
Good quick easy read for kids.
I bought this book for my granddaughter and I enjoyed reading it before I sent it to her! I learned a lot about Harriet Tubman from this book.
Very informative
