Shortly before the Civil War exploded in the South, thirteen year-old Ben McKenna was fighting his own war against slavery, on the hemp plantation in Kentucky where he lives. His best friend, a crippled slave boy, Josiah, was about to be sold by Ben's father, and Ben decided to stop that sale by planning an escape for Josiah and his slave parents. When the buyer for Josiah arrived early, Ben realized the escape had to take place that very night. Without any kind of plan, or even a map, Ben and Josiah and his parents, Bess and Jesse, embarked upon a journey to find the Ohio River and the freedom that lay beyond for slaves. Instead, of help along the way they found hostility, danger, and deception, in a quest that almost cost their lives. Plagued with fear, hunger and exhaustion, they are on the run from slave hunters and their dogs -- dogs that followed their scent no matter what they did to disguise it. Hidden barns, tiny attic rooms, cellars full of rotting fruit and vegetables were their only means of safety. After each brief stay they had to leave and run again. Treachery seemed to be the name of the game, and Ben was never sure if they were ever going to find the safety and freedom of the Ohio River.

By Lady Bug Lin I am the granddaughter of a full blooded Cherokee...so the reality of history is important to me...the trails, the tears, the heartache...the truth...without varnish.Too often we forget the carnage and heavy cost our ancestry has paid to get us to where we are today, the coin spent, still seeping deep into the bloodstained loam of the soil beneath our feet.Throughout history, cruelty has been masked beneath the guise of civilization and the muting of the winner's memories, but Mikki Sadil tells a story that pulls away all the layers of glittery gossamer and shows the stark savagery like it or not, we've built our todays upon.I grew up less than an hour from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I've walked those pain seared fields and felt the emotions that still permeate the air above and the ground below...a place historians call the worse battle waged between America's divergent brothers.I think Gettysburg and the carnage surrounding that War Between States was the inevitable cry against mankind's beliefs that any god would give him authority over other humans, cruelly reducing them to little more than animals unworthy of human compassion and decency.This story is told from the point of view of a young boy, a son of the plantation owner, and best friends with a black boy his father is about to sell into an ever more merciless level of slave trafficking. He must save, just this one family...ONLY one family...Failure CANNOT be an option. He MUST succeed. Our heroic boy sets out to beat the odds, traverse the dangerous lands of night and savagery always keeping his eye on getting his friend to that magic line between the ongoing brutality of slavery and the chance for freedom at the end of the long line.Humans forget the lessons learned far too easily. To never repeat the cruel lessons learned from the past, we must never forget what those lessons were.THE FREEDOM THIEF reminds us and so much more.It should be required reading everywhere in the world...not just here in the United States. People are NOT possessions, and never should be.FIVE STARS for this powerful children's book, and aHUGE thank you for Ms. Sadil. Long may your writing voice be a beacon for the rest of us.

Exciting Historical Adventure By Ruth Schiffmann THE FREEDOM THIEF is the story of thirteen-year-old Ben, the son of a slave owner and the lengths he goes to to save his friend and stand up for what he believes. Ben leads his best friend, a crippled slave, and his family through collapsing tunnels, foreboding swamps, a dangerous forest in a life or death adventure towards freedom. An enjoyable and satisfying read, this is a book I would have enjoyed reading with my children when they were young. It's a story both boys and girls will enjoy.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Suspense, action and heart make this a great read. By Elizabeth Tetley In an age where many take freedoms for granted, this is an engrossing, entertaining way to understand how much freedom costs and how much it's worth to those fighting for it. Ben is a realistic character because he thinks he knows what he's getting into when he sets out to lead his friends to freedom, then realizes he's in over his head. But he refuses to give up.
