Description

In a stunning story that “makes history come alive” (Booklist), a boy is sent to Mammoth cave to fight a case of consumption—and ends up fighting for the lives of a secret community of escaped slaves, who are hidden deep underground.

Twelve-year-old Elias has consumption, so he’s sent to Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave—the biggest cave in The united states—where the cool vapors are said to be healing. To start with, living in a cave sounds like an adventure, but after a couple of days, Elias feels more sick of boredom than his illness. So he’s thrilled when Stephen, probably the most slaves who works in the cave, invites him to walk further through its depths.

But there are more than just tunnels and stalagmites waiting to be discovered; there are mysteries hiding around each and every turn. The truths they conceal are far more stunning than anything Elias could ever have imagined, and he finds himself caught in the course of it all—even as he’s supposed to be resting. But how can he focal point on saving his own life when such a lot of others are in danger?
