I'm re-reading books I read while a pre-teen. Lord only knows this was not a proper book for me to be reading at that age but the thrill of knowing such is what made it all the more fun. Ha. For some reason I have an odd attraction to the books in this series. I'm enjoying them today as much as I did then and this one was no exception. This book depicts the horrific and unhumane treatment that slaves experienced in the South and actually wherever slavery was allowed. Its a way of life that lasted too long and thankfully is now illegal.
