Negative Positive
Title: disappointed
Review: I chose this book for my grade eight class to tie in with some study of slavery and the Underground Railway. My students were captivated by the descriptions of plantation life and the hardships of slaves. We all were baffled, however, when the story took a science fiction turn. We probably would have accepted some sort of time travel connection, but the little glowing multi-coloured aliens and an intergalactic battle between good and evil was just too much. My students agreed that a simpler, less outlandish story line would have been much better.
