Drinking Gourd

I loved this story because the ending surprised me. I imagined TommFuller as some of my students and admired his quick thinking skills by concocting a lie to tell the people looking for the escapees. He lies and says he stole the wagon to run away from his daddy's spanking. I also liked how his father talks about the difference between right and wrong and obeying the law and breaking the law. Overall, I thought it was a great addition to any library.
