The
main character is a slave boy named Samuel. He is taken care
of by two slaves, Lilly and Harrison, because his Momma is
sold. One night Harrison comes into the kitchen where Samuel
is sleeping and gets him up to escape. They encounter many
different people on their way to Canada in search of freedom.
They hide in basements, churches, shacks, and houses. Samuel
learns something about Harrison that changes his life. You'll
have to read the book to learn what that something is!
When I first started
to read this book I wanted to stop reading because it seemed
slow, but I made myself finish it. I am glad that I did because
it turned out to be very exciting. I recommend this book to
anyone who likes to read about slaves and their lives.
