A Good Night for Freedom

32 pp. | Holiday | February, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1709-3 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leonard Jenkins. Hallie describes the day in 1839 when she discovers two runaway slave girls hiding out in her neighbors' home. Hallie's narration isn't always convincing, but her dilemma is: should she listen to her well-meaning, law-abiding father or to her conscience? Jenkins's brooding, collage-style, mixed-media art helps flesh out the characters. Reading list, websites.
