(3) 4-6 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s American Heroes series. Illustrated by Patrick Faricy. Robert Smalls, a slave and skilled sailor, maneuvers a ship manned by other slaves past guards in South Carolina to freedom. He later becomes a congressman. The text's wordiness is counterbalanced by the fast pace and heroism of this Civil War tale. Occasional illustrations, both full-page and double-page spread paintings and black-and-white spot art, ably display the story's drama. Bib.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
