This review is from: Underground to Canada Pb (Puffin Books) (Paperback)

My highschool english teacher gave me this book to read. When I first saw it, it looked boring but I was wrong. It wasn't it was a sad story with great morals. Now I'm glad my teacher gave me this book because I learned a lot about history. Its a good read for everyone

5.0 out of 5 stars It Changes your view on life!, January 4, 2004

Julie (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Underground to Canada (Paperback)

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!
