(4) YA Eleven-year-old Harriet is spellbound by Nat Turner, who works for a time on her family's plantation. While there, he convinces her to create a map of the surrounding plantations. Rinaldi's account of the Nat Turner rebellion is fascinating and disturbing in its gruesome detail. A melodramatic plot twist at the end is gratuitous and irrelevant. An author's note is appended. Bib.
