Description

From the creators of Voices from the Oregon Trail and Colonial Voices, an unflinching story of two young runaway slaves at the Underground Railroad, told in their voices and those that helped and hindered them

It’s the 1850s and enslaved siblings Jeb and Mattie are about the make a break for freedom. The pair trip north from Maryland to New Bedford, Massachusetts along the Underground Railroad. Every spread tells about a step of their journey through a poem within the first person standpoint. The principle and repeating voices are Jeb and Mattie, but we also hear from the stationmasters and conductors, folks that offer them haven, in addition to folks that wish to capture them.

Like its predecessors within the Voices series, this richly researched and beautifully illustrated picture book brings a difficult chapter of American history to life for young readers.
