School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-8-Before she was a fierce denizen of the underground railroad, Harriet Tubman, born Araminta Ross, was a survivor of slavery and a narcoleptic with religious visions. Hale uses his cheeky framing device to propel the narrative and make it entertaining but doesn't shy away from fantastic depictions of Tubman's dreams and the dangers she faced. © Copyright 2016.

Horn Book Review
In this fifth graphic novel, Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale continues to distract his executioners; here the focus is on slavery in America and Harriet Tubman's courageous abolitionist work. As in previous volumes, irreverent humor makes a complicated story more accessible. Readers will appreciate the compelling history lesson (provided they're not put off by the small panel illustrations and tiny type). Reading list. (c) Copyright 2016.
