Meet Addy is from the American Girl series. In all of the American Girl books, we meet a fictitious girl who lived during a real period of American history. Through that story, we can learn about our nation's past. In this story, we meet Addy. Addy is a slave. Her family lives on a plantation in North Carolina. Her father wants to run away to freedom before the family is broken up and sold off. Before they can do that however, the father's predictions come true. Addy's mom decides that they should run away anyway. This is an exciting and of course, sad story that offers its readers an important view into a troubled, embarrassing, and tragic period of our history. (FIC AME)
