“History comes alive in this imagining of the life of Eliza Scott, one of the daughters of Dred Scott, the slave at the center of a landmark case in American history…. Not much is known about the real-life Eliza, but these authors’ depict her as brave, headstrong, and intelligent…. this book is a compelling and exciting narrative as well as a window into a possible history…. A great choice to support school curriculum.” —School Library Journal
