Story
It is the greatest American underdog sports story ever told: how a team of college kids and unsigned amateurs, under the tutelage of legendary coach - and legendary taskmaster - Herb Brooks, beat the elite Soviet hockey team on their way to winning the gold medal at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. No one believed the scrappy Americans had a real shot at winning. Despite being undefeated, the US - the youngest team in the competition - were facing off against the four-time defending gold medalist Russians.

In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

How did a simple commodity, once the prized monopoly of kings and princes, become an essential ingredient in the lives of millions, before mutating yet again into the cause of a global health epidemic? Prior to 1600, sugar was a costly luxury, the domain of the rich. But with the rise of the sugar colonies in the New World over the following century, sugar became cheap, ubiquitous, and an everyday necessity. Less than 50 years ago, few people suggested that sugar posed a global health problem.

MASTERPIECE of Poetic Prose, Outstanding Narration
- By Mary Burnight on 01-12-23
By: Javier Zamora
Publisher's summary
This quintessential middle-grade biography of Harriet Tubman now features a cover by NAACP Image Award-winner and Caldecott Honor illustrator Kadir Nelson, a foreword written and read by National Book Award-finalist Jason Reynolds, and additional new material.
A selection of the Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List.
Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad was praised by the New Yorker as “[A]n evocative portrait” and by the Chicago Tribune as “[S]uperb”. It is a gripping and accessible portrait of the heroic woman who guided more than 300 slaves to freedom and who is expected to be the face of the new $20 bill.
Harriet Tubman was born a slave and dreamed of being free. She was willing to risk everything - including her own life - to see that dream come true. After her daring escape, Harriet became a conductor on the secret Underground Railroad, helping others make the dangerous journey to freedom.
This award-winning introduction to the late abolitionist, which was named an ALA Notable Book and a New York Times Outstanding Book, also includes a supplemental PDF with educational back matter such as a timeline, discussion questions, and extension activities.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

More than you though you knew!!
Loved it!!
Robin Miles is the BEST narrator!! She literally puts YOU in the time period!
I learned much more than I thought I knew about Harriet Tubman.
Yes, she's known as one of the most well known Conductors of the Underground Railroad, but this book gives you detail on the circumstances that started her journey and the motivations that kept her going.
Harriet's ingenuity, perseverance and wit and even her heartaches and regret shine throughout this book and Ms. Miles' narration brings her out into a three dimensional character.
Harriet had parents who loved her, siblings she loved & fought with and for; a love life that never quite matched her dreams. She worked tirelessly, on the right side of history, to free not just her loved ones and other enslaved persons in the Tidewater area of Maryland, but the soul of America!!
Why isn't she on the twenty dollar bill yet??!!

great read!!!
We all go through things but how we go through them is important. Harriet 's story is another story of triumph with the help of a good God and the tenacity of keeping her mind on Him. We will experience difficulties in life but look to the Father to deliver us out of the evil ones hand. This story strengths my faith and inspires me to keep lending a helping hand even to those who don't realize they need the help. I am a mentor and every child and especially children of color should know the evils overcame by the forerunners. We cannot do life alone, we need Gods help. It is evident that others who went through what she went through would have lost their sanity and peace of mind. She overcame people and what they thought about her to save many lives. This is a quality many older adults lack. As you can see I enjoyed the details of her not just talking the talk but walking the walk. I encourage you to listen/read and share Harriet Tubman's story.

Enthralling
I am 78 years old and white. I have no memory of hearing about Harriett
Tubman until she was referenced in T. Coate’s book where I think she was referred to as Moses. Now there is a movie too. I became curious, wanting to know more. Robin did a wonderful job narrating and voicing the different characters. I couldn’t stop listening. I carried my iPad around home as I did things throughout the day. What a life she led! The bravery and determination she showed. I am awed.

Making Harriet Tubman Personal
Emailed to several Friends,
This is the first time in my adult life I have read (listened) to Harriet Tubmans story. I guess the reasons why i waited so long are several. As well the reasons why to read it now several.
Each chapter evoked a deeper and deeper emotional response in me. My family endured the passage to Connecticut in 1690s but not in irons. They later traveled to Chicago then to Ohio not as run aways but on wagons and trains.
My great great grandfather ran away from his family in Ohio to enlist in the Union army during the war. In fact all my forbears volunteered for some measure of time with the military. My brother now lives on the coastal island that Major Gould’s Massechusit’s regiment camped upon before seeing their first action at Darrien, GA. (Not one they were proud of)
One of many things that impressed me was when Harriet realized some runaways must have succeeded in reaching freedom yet her story did not tell of anyone willing to return to lead others. Or even to tell that it could be done. And that people out there cared. Yet she was compelled to. Again and again. She used talents and skills that were taught in her young life as well skills learned later of necessity and of desire.
I now feel it curious that in some small measure I’ve been able to use some meager talents given to me and skills learned to help rescue only a few from hunger, illness, poverty, worry, and despair, to know they have friends who care, and have their back. And willing to use savings, vacations, and time to enrich their lives as we too have been enriched.
If your life has also changed as a result of someone’s compassion and bravery I would love to hear of it. God Bless.

Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history - a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. And yet in the century since her death, next to nothing has been written about this extraordinary woman aside from juvenile biographies. The truth about Harriet Tubman has become lost inside a legend woven of racial and gender stereotypes.

Story
Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history - a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. And yet in the century since her death, next to nothing has been written about this extraordinary woman aside from juvenile biographies. The truth about Harriet Tubman has become lost inside a legend woven of racial and gender stereotypes.

Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming...probably the greatest love story ever told".
