They say you follow the North Star, and when you step onto this land you are free." Mammy Sally's "secret talk" to her daughter Julilly in Barbara Smucker's Underground to Canada becomes the only beacon of hope when the 12-year-old girl is cruelly separated from her mother by a slave trader. As the hellish conditions at her new plantation become intolerable, Julilly and her friend Liza are offered a means to escape to Canada by a mysterious visitor from the Underground Railroad. The threat of being recaptured by slave hunters and their howling bloodhounds is ever-present, but Julilly finds strength, courage, and a growing sense of self-worth within herself and from some unlikely people along the way.

Lawrence Hill and Barbara Smucker are amazing.Whoever reads this book will really understand how much black slaves whent threw and how bad slavery was esspecially in the deep south{Mississippi,Texas and exct.}.
the book was amazing and it is very sad but at the end it very good
This book was mainly written for a younger audience. But I read it through and through. I really like the historical fiction books of this world. So this was no exception. It may sound masochistic of me but I would like to read a more in depth read of the same subject. Any suggestions???
