The biography of Harriet Tubman is a compelling story of a remarkable woman born into slavery. This heroic woman’s story is told with a sympathetic tone and descriptive language. It is written for middle school students and could be utilized very well in a middle or high school social studies or language arts class. Harriet’s heroic journey is detailed with accurate timelines and easy-to-read captions. I do recommend this book for ninth grade and below or a special needs class. ( )
