My Name is Sally Little Song
by Brenda Woods
Sally Harrison and her family are slaves on a plantation in Georgia. But when Master decides to sell Sally and her brother, the family escapes to seek shelter with a tribe of Seminoles who are rumored to adopt runaway slaves. After a perilous journey, Sally’s family finds and joins the tribe. But while her father and brother easily adjust to Indian ways, Sally can’t seem to find her place. Combining the poetry of Sally’s songs with the heartracing tension of the family’s escape, author Brenda Woods delivers a breathtaking story of a girl caught between worlds.
The book Sally Little Song showed me an example of how to be brave and strong. For instance, in the story Sally and her family escaped from their plantation to a swamp. Before escaping, Sally saw a man get caught for escaping, and get punished. After being punished, he looked like he was half alive, it was a very scary moment for Sally. Sally also showed how brave she was, when she had to deal with her mom dying halfway through the trip. She did not give up when her mom was very very sick. Overall this book was excellent and I would recommend it to my friends.
