From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6. Clotee is an orphan living on the plantation of "Mas' Henley" and "Miz Lilly." Her owners have put her to work fanning Miz Lilly and her young son William during tutoring sessions. William may not be keen to learn, but Clotee is. She has learned to read while looking over the boy's shoulder and eventually she teaches herself how to write. She practices her newfound skills by writing in a makeshift, secret diary, which is found by William's new tutor. Luckily, he turns out to be an abolitionist. Through his work, Clotee helps some of her friends escape to the North, but she herself chooses to stay behind on the plantation as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Clotee is such a vibrant, fully rounded character that it is almost painful to think of her left on the plantation while her friends and fellow slaves go to freedom. McKissack brings Clotee alive through touching and sobering details of slave life, told in such a matter-of-fact way that their often brutal nature is made abundantly clear. However, this is in no way a depressing book. In fact, it is an inspiring look at a young girl coming of age in terrible circumstances who manages to live life to the fullest.?Melissa Hudak, Northern Illinois Medical Center, McHenry, IL

This book was accually my favorite book I have reaf in my entire life, and it was really touching at someparts, and some parts taught you about how hard it was to be a slave in those times. It had wonderful dialect that shows you that the masters left the slaves ignorant. It teaches you about the Underfround Railroad and abolitionists and things that went on. I never wanted to put the bookm down and I had nothing better to do but read it. If you read this book it would really touch your heart. The boo is about a twelve-year old slave girl named Clotee, and it tells about all the hardships slaves went through. I would really, truly recommend this book to others because it was interesting and everytime I saw the book I was attracted to it like a magnet.

This is one of the first books in the series I read and I loved it. The author does a good job at depicting characters and emotions. The story was excellent and often touching. There was tragedy, hopes, and wonderful feelings. This book is very accurate in depicting slavery and oppersion. It is one of my favorites in the series!

The book A Picture of Freedom is about a twelve year old slave girl who lives on the Belmont Plantation in Virgingia. I like the way the book is written. It is not divided into chapters but in days. The twelve year old girl, Clottee, writes in her diary almost everyday and you read what she writes in her diary. This book gave me mixed feelings. It was sad at one time and exciting at another. At one point of the book one of the very nice slaves was brutally beaten by the master of the plantation. Soon after he was beaten he died. This was very hard for the other slaves to deal with. As you can tell that part of the book was very sad. There were so many interesting parts in the book. There were parts when I just could not put the book down! For instance when William, the masters child escaped. A few days later a still energetic, horse came trotting up the drive of the big house (the house where the masters live on the plantation) with William dragging along behind. You will defiantly have to read this book and find out if William lives. I would recommend this book to all teen/middle school aged girls. I think that it is a wonderful book. I think even older women might like this book also. I would also recommend this book to those girls who are not motivated readers. I think the way the book is set up it does not seem like you are reading that much.
