'i feel that the story underground to canada is a very interesting book! it describes how illtreated slaves are treated and how much agony they have to go through. barbara smucker focuses on how the slaves strive for freedom and how eventually they succeed. there are four slaves running away from the riley plantation: adam, lester, liza and julilly. it also describes the torture slaves have to go through, how they are whipped and what it actually feels like when one looses someone special.

i think the book is an emotional rolacoster for readers who like sad but adventurous books
this book is highly recomended and the author really does bring you to see what it was like to be a black slave in the imagration times

A heart-warming book about the terrible suffering and discrimination coloured people had to endure. Smucker uses beautiful language to convey how desperate Julilly and Liza are for freedom and to emphasise that there is hope in the world.

I liked this book because it makes you what life was like 25 years and how hard it was for people then. If Barbara smucker is alive i hope she rights more books because i will read ALL of them!!!

I thought this book was very good and quite well written. I thought it had a very good lesson in it and I think it is a good book for teens to read because it teaches them a lot about slavery and what goes on in the past.
