History Is Important for Kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
My kids loved Ezra's story. I only read parts of the book because it's for children, but we talked about it after they were finished. I think The Road to Freedom gave them just enough to inform them of the history that whites and blacks share in this country, without creating a sense of fear or hatred in my boys. I think its a must-read for all children because history is important, even if it's told through fictional characters. Believe me, if it made my boys -- ages 8 and 11 -- finish the entire book, then it has to be engaging and worth the time it took to read it.

When Ezra Taplin, a young boy with a broken leg, is ten years old, Yankees set them free and bring them to a Union camp. They make friends with a man named Mose and his family. Ezra and his father move to Charleston and work for a man named Mr. Cain. There Mose learns the truth about his broken leg and his mother. When his mother comes to Charleston, Ezra feels that he is truly free.
