I'm not really sure I agree with the "believability" of this books. Yes, slaves were treated poorly and they tried to run away and escape all the time, but I don't think Addy would have been so defiant of her master so early on, especially knowing what she knew about the future of her family. I don't know though. Not a bad story overall.

I read a handful of American girl books around 2nd grade. Sofia was really obsessed with them. I liked them I think Samantha and Josefina were my favorites. I wanted an American girl doll so so bad. It's honestly a little fucked up how this franchise is so inaccessible....but its still fun.
