I really enjoyed this book! The book goes into detail about the underground railroad and the people that helped slaves along the way to freedom. The book also talked about clever ways that some slaves escaped slavery in the south without using the underground railroad. The pictures and illustrations really give you a deep understanding of all the people involved, how the slaves were treated, and how hard and dangerous it was to escape the south. The book was really interesting and gave me with some knowledge on facts that I did not know. I would recommend this book for grades 5-8. ( )
