Runaway: The Daring Escape of Ona Judge by Ray Anthony Shepard

3.0

This was an interesting poem with gorgeous illustrations about the life of Ona Judge. I think it is a good intro to kids about the side of slavery that a lot of people don't think about. The title is a bit misleading; "daring" implies excitement in the story. It was actually a little bit dull to read. That being said, there are a lot of things brought up that would instigate a good discussion with your children about slavery, so I would still recommend the book to parents.
