Story Summary
In this edge-of-your-seat biography of slave, Robert Smalls, Timothy Tocher proves once again why he is the king of historical fiction and biography for children. Stealing a confederate steamer filled with other slaves, Robert Small's successful bid for freedom is one of the most daring and bold escape sagas to come out of the Civil War.
