I like this book, because it is about an Underground Railroad adventure.
I'd recommend this to people who like historical fiction.
This book give a good inside look at how people moved along the Underground Railroad. It shows that underground meant secret rather than below ground.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by the ending of this book and the turn of events in the story. When the book was done, I still wasn't quite sure what would happen to Lucy.
