I guess, like other series, they wrote a book series, made a TV show based on it, then based a new book series on the TV show, which is not as good.

Pretty average Tubman biography. It doesn't focus as much on Tubman and more on Xavier and Co.'s experience in time traveling. I felt like it did a good job of driving home the meaning of 'courage'.
