Title: Disappointed
Review: As a dedicated Girl Scout volunteer, I bought several of these books thinking I would donate them to local schools. I was very disappointed when I discovered that the story starts with Juliette at about age 5 defending the Confederacy, with family slaves packing for her trip north to escape the war. As an adult I respect the Southern heritage which I share myself. But this is such a contoversial topic I find it difficult to understand why a book for children would start here. I gave the books to my adult friends but would not recommend it for children. Of all the things that Juliette Low did, said and accomplished, I'm confused why a children's author would put such emphasis on this part of her life when she was only 5 years old.
Is the review positive or negative?
