I used this novel with my 8th-grade class. It offered enough historical facts that it went perfectly with the unit I was doing. It is well written in a language that is easy to follow and understand.
It allows the reader to see the effect the American Revolution and slavery had on the individuals who experienced it firsthand. ( )

I like the authors take on Phillis. She made her the perfect sassy little thing. It is great to see everything that Phillis accomplished in her life. And, very saddening only to see those wonderful accolades come crashing down around her after she married and started her own life, outside the Wheatley family.
Phillis had an impact in the American Revolution. Wether she is given credit in history is one thing. She wrote beautiful letters filled to the brim with her poetry about how slavery and the revolution were linked together.
A great read on a very important trailblazer in the black community. ( )
