Although I enjoyed The Diary of the Strawbridge Place, I did not find it quite as involving as the first title. I appreciated Jacob's sensitive depiction of the ambiguous feelings of the Strawbridge children, who were proud of their family's courageous activities, but also tired of always being different, and set apart from the other people of Ashtabula. It may be that the fact that this was a prequel, and the reader therefore already knows that the "Secret" will remain undisclosed, robs the story of some suspense. Or it may be that the distance of the narrative from the slaves themselves - who seem to appear and disappear - lessens the emotional impact.
Whatever its flaws, this was still an enjoyable read, and well worth the time of young readers interested in the Underground Railroad, or anyone who liked the original. ( )
