A Taste of Freedom by Tommie Thompson. I am rather disappointed in the book. To me the reading level is 4th grade, but due to the content I wouldn't introduce it until at least Junior High. I have been in two mind about using it as the reading level is way below what Lord Epa is use too. I have decided to go ahead and use the book mainly because I want to introduce the topic. These are the questions I want Lord Epa to answer when he reads the book.

- How believable is the book?
- Do you think a slave would be able to make an informed decision about fighting for the South? Escaping North?
- Do you think a slave and his Master could be friends? Do you think Bill was right to teach Bubba to read?
- Since Bill disapproved of slavery why didn't he free his slaves? Do you think he was right in believing that they needed to be freed gradually? How big a part did peer pressure play in the decisions Bill made?
