Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales : The Underground Abductor (An Abolitionist Tale about Harriet Tubman)

Araminta Ross was born a slave in Delaware in the early 19th century. 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. But north of the Mason-Dixon line, slavery was illegal. If she could run away and make it north without being caught or killed, she’d be free. Facing enormous danger, Araminta made it, and once free, she changed her name to Harriet Tubman. Tubman spent the rest of her life helping slaves run away like she did, every time taking her life in her hands. Nathan Hale tells her incredible true-life story with the humour and sensitivity he’s shown in every one of the Hazardous Tales―perfect for reluctant readers and classroom discussions.Author: Hale, Nathan,author Contributors: Hale, Nathan,author Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 128 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: illustrated Edition: Illustrated Published/Release Date: 21 Apr 2015 Bic Classification: USA, c 1800 to c 1900, History & the past: general interest (Children's / Teenage), Warfare, battles, armed forces (Children's / Teenage) bicCode: Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Abrams Author/Director/Artist: Nathan Hale Dimension (cm): 20x147x197 mm Package Dimension (cm): 15x197x146 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 340
