so bealivable and talks about slavery

This book is About a Girl that is 9 years old and her name is Addy But her and her family have been put as slaves And the book also was when black people where slaves and they had to come up with the underground railroad. I do not think that slavery is Okay, Everyone is the same and has Feelings and can get hurt no matter what the color of your skin is! And everyone needs to know that. I think this book is Good just I do not like when Addy or her Family get hurt just because They didn't do what there "Owner" Wanted them to do. I think this book could help people understand why slavery is bad. Also make sure to Follow me!

i wanted to read it because our teacher said we had to read about historical fiction and i chose that book because 1 it was about the civil war and id it was an American girl book
