A review by libscote
Almost to Freedom by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson

2.0

I liked the story, the afterword, and the illustrations, but dialect doesn't always work for me and it didn't work for me here in some parts, where I had to really concentrate. I think, if I read it out loud, that might have been better. And, as usual, I am a white woman reviewing this so who knows what racist assumptions I am bringing with me about dialect that I haven't unpacked yet.
