''Oh, Freedom!'' is a short story which I believe is a great length for a children's book, at 138 pages. It is incredibly accessible which will provide children with a historical understanding in a fictional narrative of an era of which many will have no prior knowledge. As a Year 6 Primary School teacher, my class would read this confidently and they would gain a fantastic insight into 1850's America. Additionally, the themes in ''Oh, Freedom!'' can be compared with the refugee crisis in Syria today, where people are fleeing their homes in hope of freedom and a better life.
For further reading, I would suggest Midnight Fox by Besty Byers (however this has not been reviewed here at Bookbag) as this has a similar atmospheric style of writing with slightly less action and excitement. Additionally I recommend the brilliant [[The Arrival by Shaun Tan]] as this purely picture book portrays the notion of leaving all you know in search of a new life.
