Time Machine #05: Civil War Sec

When you read this Choose Your Own Adventure-type book, you'll get more than an adventure. More than 10 years later, I still remember most of the storyline. But most importantly, this book introduces you to one of the many unsung Civil War heroes: Harriet Tubman. She was perhaps the best known member of the Underground Railroad and the fiction-based-on-fact adventures that you go through with her are really amazing. Every time I hear her name in history class my ear perk up because I know who they're talking about. Very educational, very fun to read. Wish it was still in print. If you find a copy, buy it and like the scorpion--don't-let-go!

This book enchanted me when I was a kid. It was more involved and historically related than normal Choose Your Own Adventures. After reading it, I always felt a special kinship to Harriet Tubman whenever we studied her in school. I also recommend the one about midieval times (can't remember the name) and anything by Edward Packard
