By: Connie Porter, Part of the American Girl Series
Addy is an African American girl who moves to from North Carolina to Philadelphia with her mother due to the civil war. Upon arrival in Philadelphia, Addy is confronted with a new friendship and a new education, in which she learns a lesson about both.
This chapter book and other books from this series would be a good group reading activity. Each series of books refers to a different time in history. Students will be learning about history, as well as a social skills lesson like friendship and trust. I think the books are easy enough for the students to keep one another accountable and discuss their thoughts within their groups. After the students have finished their books, I would have them share a summary to the class.
