Underground to Canada: Puffin Classics Edition

There's a place slaves whisper about that can be reached by following the North Star called Canada where slavery isn't allowed and people are able to live free . . . 

A passionate tale of human dignity that brings the past to life for young modern readers, Underground to Canada is an incredibly well-researched fictional account of survival, activism, and the struggle for freedom that was a reality for an entire population.  

"Barbara Smucker has created a sensitive and dramatic story about a young girl's flight from slavery, and (some three decades after it first appeared in print) Underground to Canada still serves as a wonderful introduction to a vital and fascinating element of Canadian history." -- Lawrence Hill, bestselling author of The Book of Negros, The Illegal, and Any Known Blood
