The Escape of Oney Judge: Martha Washington's Slave Finds Freedom

32 pp. | Farrar | February, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-32225-0 $16.00
(4) K-3 Ten-year-old slave Oney appreciates that her mistress, Martha Washington, treats her well, but as she matures and her circumstances change with the times, she grows determined to become free. The subject matter is compelling, but the pages are text-heavy and the telling is rather banal. Meanwhile, the art is delicate and detailed though not especially sure-handed. Bib.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
