Liberty Street is a very excellent book. It had a very good plot and the characters were very exciting.The book was just great. I recommend everybody to read this book.

Liberty Street

This book is awesome, it has great characters, its a good story, and it is historicaly correct. It teaches kids that things happen in life that you would never expect. And it also shows them what African Americans went through. And how they should appreciate how our land is today. And it isn't very hard to understand. So thats why I say that this is a wonderfull book.

Liberty Street

Liberty Street is a great children's book. It teaches you about slaves and how they use to always wonder what it would be like to be free. I liked this book because it was written in first person point of view which tells you what they were thinking and how they felt about the situation that couldn't be free.

Liberty Street

This book is about a black girl,Kezia,who is a slave and so is her parents. They have to do chores everyday excepted for Sundays when the slave owners let them free for a while. One day her father got sold somebody. Then her mother told her about a secret scool which the teacher is a slave woman. One day theteachertalked to them about Canada. She said that everyone in Canada is free to do what ever they want. Then one day Kezia's mom told her that she was being sold. So one night her mom sent her with other people to Liberty Steet.Liberty Street was a way to get to Canada. Her mom didn't goes with her because there wasn't enough space. I think this book is good and teaches people aboutthe past and how badly black people where treated and how smart they were to find a way to escape.
