Synopsis:
Find out about the life of Harriet Tubman and how her brave actions working to "conduct" the Underground Railroad helped the Union Army in the Civil War lead more than 700 slaves to freedom.

The Level 2 text provides accessible, yet wide-ranging information for independent readers.

My Thoughts:

This fact-filled little book gives us a glance into the life of Harriet Tubman, who was born into slavery but eventually escaped and conducted what was known as the 'Underground Railroad' which helped slaves escape to the free states in the north. She acted as a spy during the Civil War and was the first woman to lead a Civil War raid.

There's plenty to learn from this mini-biography from Nat Geo Kids! The main text is large and easy to read and is paired with interesting photographs and extra facts about each that help tell Harriet Tubman's inspirational life story. 

There's also a timeline and a quiz page to test your knowledge of what you've just read!

This is a Level 2 'easy reader'  for independent reading and also includes information about Nat Geo Kids' 'Super Reader' program!
