Summary: A life changer!
Comment: I am a 3rd grader in Chicago and my teacher read us this book about 3 kids and two adults. Their names are Luther, Carrie, Dilly, Mama, and Papa. It was in the time of slavery. Dilly's mother was sold to a mean white man, where Luther and Carrie's mother lived too. Carrie's father was sold to another white man with lots of horses, but the father escaped. They made a daring escape. Running from dogs and people, and sliding across the great Mississippi, by foot and by horse, they reached many stops on the Underground Railroad, including places in Chicago and around Chicago that I know about. Along the way, they get separated from each other. A lost aunt, a future uncle, and an old-time taxi driver are part of the puzzle that is finished by the end of the book. I'll let you find out the rest. This is probably the best book I've read about slavery. This story changed my life because I will never tease someone that has a different color skin from me.
