A MOST PERILOUS WORLD The True Story of the Young Abolitionists and Their Crusade Against Slavery

by | Read by Shayna Small, Rachel Jacobs, James Fouhey, Nile Bullock, Kristina R. Gaddy

Young Adult Ages 14+ • 7.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

Compelling, emotional, and well researched, this audiobook brings to life the stories of four young people from abolitionist families. Using primary sources to highlight the tumult of the time period leading up to and during the Civil War, the coming-of-age story focuses on Lewis Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass; George Garrison, son of William Lloyd Garrison; Lucy McKim, daughter of Miller McKim; and Charlotte Forten, granddaughter of James Forten. A talented team of narrators-- including the author--do an excellent job of communicating the fear, sadness, determination, and hope of those who were entrenched in the fight against slavery. Listeners will be inspired by this story of family, activism, and legacy. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2025]
