It Changes your view on life!

This book is awesome! It makes you think of all the things you take for granted and hard it must have been to be owned. The main character Julilly goes through some much hardship and pain trying to get to Canada to be free, but in the end it was all worth it. The book also tells about how some people died trying to get to the land of the free, Canada. No matter what age you should read this book, you wont regret it!

An overall good book

I had to read this book for a project at school and all I could think was "oh great, another dumb book to read", but after all, it was a great book. It really helps you understand about how the life of a slave was in the early 1800's. The two main characters (Julily and Liza) never give up their hope on their trip to Canada. Julily's Mammy Sally is a very strong character in this book about the Underground Railroad. She does age a bit when Julily finally finds her at the end of the book in "the free land", Canada, but Julily still loves her just as much as she did when she left her. This book should make Canadians feel proud of the free country that we live in. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much.

it is really good

I really enjoyed reading the book because it gives you the understanding of what is going on in the world. I recommend it to anyone that likes going on Adventures.
