From Publishers Weekly
Addy Walker, the newest character in the American Girls Collection of dolls, accessories and books, stars in these bright historical novels. In the first, the nine-year-old girl, a slave on a North Carolina plantation during the Civil War, overhears her parents whispering about the possibility of running away. But after Addy's father and older brother are sold to another master, mother and daughter make the break alone. In a heart-rending scene, the two leave Addy's young sister, Esther, in the care of fellow slaves and begin their harrowing journey on foot to a "safe house." From there they are transported by abolitionists to a ship that takes them to Philadelphia--and freedom. The second novel, lacking the dramatic tension of its predecessor but equally poignant, recounts Addy's adjustment to living free in an unfamiliar urban environment. Porter's easily flowing narrative follows Addy as she attends school for the first time and learns about the true meaning of friendship. As in the previous American Girls novels, these two neatly balance fiction and fact, the latter quality reinforced by the concise historical notes, entitled "A Peek into the Past," which conclude each volume. Rosales's emotion-charged illustrations effectively convey Addy's affability and pluck. A third installment, Addy's Surprise , is also due in September. Ages 7-up.

Introduction to a painful topic
2004/3/6
形式:ペーパーバック
Addy is the story of a black girl in 1864, as the Civil War was in its ending stages. My second grade niece, an advanced reader, was immediately engrossed in the story. The subject matter may be a bit over her head, though. I suggested she compare Addy's family with her own, asking "Today, no one owns your family, do they?" The reply I got was "Yes, grandma!" Another reviewer says this is a third to 6th grade book--probably third or fourth grade is about right. Although paper, the quality is high, with nice illustrations. Kudos to American Girl for giving us an excellent alternative to Barbie!

History Come To Life.

形式:ペーパーバック
My sister has the entire AMERICAN GIRLS collection of books, but I never gave much thought about them until recently when I was at home. I'm in an multi-cultural education class and figured it might be beneficial to read at least one of these books in this very popular series.
I chose MEET ADDY and was quite surprised by what I read. The story was engaging, full of vivid imagery, and historically accurate. Addy is a young slave girl living on a plantation near the end of the Civil War. Lincoln has already issued the Emancipation Proclamation, but Addy and her father, mother, brother, and sister are slaves living in the South. Their owner is not a very cruel Master and cares for his slaves much better than many other slave-owners. However, the war is costly and he sells some of his slaves in an effort to raise enough money to keep the plantation open. The two slaves he sells are Addy's father and her brother, Sam. After they are sold together, Addy's mother makes plans for her and Addy to escape before more tragedy strikes their family. They leave Addy's baby sister behind with Auntie Lula and Uncle Solomon, an elderly couple who work in the plantation house, and flee in the night headed towards a safe house where an elderly woman named Miss Caroline lives. Miss Caroline will take them to their freedom.
The last few pages of this book contain some historical information about slavery and what life would have been like for a girl like Addy. The information is interesting and adds a historical context to a very engaging story.
Overall, I found this book to be quite interesting and a very enjoyable and informative read. I highly recommend it to young girls and to boys who don't mind reading about girls.

Another excellent American Girls book
2002/10/25
形式:ペーパーバック
This is the first in the American Girls series about Addy Walker, a nine-year-old African-American girl living in the America of 1864. Addy and her family are slaves living on a plantation in North Carolina. The North appears to be winning the war, but Addy's parents are afraid that their owner will sell part of the family, splitting them up, so they decide to run away. Disaster strikes when the master sells Addy's father and brother off before they can make good their escape. Now, it is up to Addy and her mother, and Addy will have to do things much harder than she ever contemplated!
The final chapter of this wonderful book is a highly informative look at slavery in America. This book is another excellent addition to the American Girls collection. It shows the horror and degradation of slavery, and yet produces an uplifting story. My eleven-year-old daughter and I both liked reading this book, and highly recommend it to you.
