In Meet Addy we meet a girl an African American girl named Addy who lives with her family as slaves. The book begins with Addy hearing her parents whispering running away from their owners to obtain freedom and the rest of the book describes the trials and tribulations they must go through to eventually get that freedom.
I think this is a good book to read while learning about the Civil War since that is when the book takes place. It also would help describe some of the things African Americans had to go through in order to get their freedom and I think it is important that students learn about this because sometimes this part of the war gets overlooked.
