Bright Freedom's Song: A Story of the Underground Railroad

This book is a really good book.It is about a girl's birthday and it is ruined and her party no one any of the food or drinks. To find out if her brithday is ruined or not

I liked Bright Freedom's Song because the author used powerful and strong words. The book told a lot of informatin about the Underground Railroad. I could't put the book down because I just wanted to find out what happens next. So if you like books about the Underground Railroad you should read Bright Freedom's Song by Gloria Houston.

The book is wonderfully written. It demonstrates the various views of all those involved in the Underground Railroad. Houston also does an excellent job of going inside the characters to show their inner struggle in dealing with slavery. I found myself engulfed in Bright's actions and thoughts, at times, having many of the same sentiments. I found myself reading the book at different paces. I believe the syntax was a major part in this change of pace. However, the effect it gave was masterfully done. I noticed the more difficult syntax was used during the times a character struggle was occuring. Overall, the book would be an excellent choice for anyone, moreover, especially for a young reader. It is a great work of literature that could be used in both a language arts class or a social studies class.

Bright, the daughter of a former indentured servant from Scotland, learns that her parents are providing a station for the Underground Railroad. She comes to understand the importance of this cause and bravely steps forward to do her part. She is quickly put to the test when her father becomes ill and the lives of a slave girl and Marcus are at stake.
