My Review: I love this entire series! Nathan Hale has taken history and made it accessible (with a dash of humor!). Nathan Hale tells her incredible true-life story with the humor and sensitivity he’s shown in every one of the Hazardous Tales-perfect for reluctant readers and classroom discussions. Tubman spent the rest of her life helping slaves run away like she did, every time taking her life in her hands. Facing enormous danger, Araminta made it, and once free, she changed her name to Harriet Tubman. If she could run away and make it north without being caught or killed, she’d be free. But north of the Mason-Dixon line, slavery was illegal. Slavery meant that her family could be ripped apart at any time, and that she could be put to work in dangerous places and for abusive people. Goodreads Summary: Araminta Ross was born a slave in Delaware in the early 19th century.
