    About this audiobook

    Meet Addy Walker, a courageous nine-year-old girl growing up during the Civil War. When her poppa and brother are sold to another plantation, Addy and her mother take the terrible risk of escaping to freedom in the North. To get away safely, they must leave Addy’s baby sister behind in the slave quarters—her cries could cost them their freedom. As Addy and Momma slowly build a new life in Philadelphia and struggle to bring their family together again, Addy comes to realize a powerful truth—freedom has great costs.

      This collection of american girl books are very nice. I like it told about a girl in slavery and when she got out how her life was. I thik it had a very nice ending. This book would be something I really suggest for girls.

      The books were excellent. But, the audio skipped horribly throughout the stories.
