Reading Level is 4th - 8th grade (not ages 4-8). This is a very attractive and well written book, with just enough photos and illustrations to add to the interest. The book uses fluent and engaging language, historical anecdotes, excerts from primary sources, and unfamiliar information, all of which help to maintain inteest. This book is well-researched and very readable with lots of facinating details. Kirkus
Reviews says of this book: " Readers will come away with a strong grasp of the tensions that led to the Civil War, and an understanding of the African-American struggle for freedom; the clarity of Burchard's writing and thinking eclipses any textbook offering on the subject."
