BRADY<br />
“After Brady discovered a station (of the<br />
Underground Railroad) near his family’s<br />
farm and knew that his father did not<br />
trust him with that secret, he wished he<br />
had never heard of slavery because it had<br />
got him into such trouble. But in a time<br />
of great need he was able to prove that<br />
he was becoming a man.”<br />

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE<br />
and the Beecher Preachers<br />
“Many kids will be stimulated to go on<br />
from here to find out more about the famous<br />
novel [Uncle Tom’s Cabin]; how it<br />
was read then, the controversy surrounding<br />
it now, especially with regard to the<br />
caricature of Uncle Tom. Fritz quietly<br />
dramatizes a momentous truth: this<br />
woman wrote a book that, with all its<br />
flaws, changed the world.” —BooklistH<br />

history as well as to the history of American<br />
letters.” —The Horn Book<br />

HOMESICk<br />
My Own Story<br />
Illustrated by Margot Tomes<br />
“Fritz draws readers into scenes of her<br />
youth in the turbulent China of the midtwenties.<br />
One comes to appreciate the<br />
generous affection of her nurse/companion<br />
Lin Nai-Nai, the isolating distance in<br />
her mother’s grief over losing a second<br />
child, the dynamics of a suffering population<br />
venting its hostility on foreigners,<br />
and most of all, the loneliness of a child’s<br />
exile from a homeland she has imagined<br />
constantly but never seen.” —BooklistH<br />
