An incredible story

Ms. Wall does a beautiful job of sharing a piece of our American history in a way that draws you in and makes you feel like you are a part of it all. I found this to be a wonderful story and a gentler way of introducing my daughter to the horrible subject of slavery. Somehow she makes it easier for a child to understand and yet does not sugar coat the facts. This book has earned a place on my shelf with other classics like Catcher in the Rye and Tom Sawyer. Thank you Ms. Wall for this wonderful book. We look forward to the next one.

Great Story and Author

We had the pleasure of meeting Ms Wall at our school when she came to do a reading of her book for us. It was a great tale with acurate historical events and places in NH. And the story was told in a way that the children actually got to "feel" what it was like to live in Matty's day and time, as well as the pressure of her circumstances of racial issues for that time. I would Highly reccommend this book for older kids, as a great way to open up conversations about different things.
