I couldn't imagine what my life would be like if I had to constantly worry about whether someone was going to come arrest me if I ran away. I think this book would be good for a history lesson. By relating the material through a book would be a great way to give some background information. (less)

There were five brothers and one sister, Virgie, who all go to school. Virgie wanted to join her brothers so badly because she wanted to learn. Their mother and father eventually let her go to school with her brothers. The siblings really seem to appreciate their education, which is something we all should do more every now and then. I would use this book as a teaching tool to have the students appreciate their education and maybe have them write a paragraph on how would you feel if you had to beg your parents to get educated? Then, we could talk about how important education is and how you need it to succeed in life.(less)

I would definitely use this book in my classroom either for a writing prompt or during a history lesson. This was a great story but it didn't end how I would have liked it to end.(less)
