<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In 1854 in Eastern Maryland twelve-year-old Ann is a slave, grateful that her family is still all together; but when their master, in need of money, decides to sell Ann and her younger brother, their parents decide to take the dangerous step of running away north to freedom--a journey filled with danger, especially since they are not sure how to find the first station on the Underground Railroad.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Twelve-year-old Ann understands there is only one thing to be grateful for as a slave: having her family together. But when the master falls into debt, he plans to sell both Ann and her younger brother to two different owners. Ann is convinced her family must run away on the Underground Railroad. Will Ann's family survive the dangerous trip to their freedom in the North ? This Girls Survive story is supported by a glossary, discussion questions, and nonfiction material on the Underground Railroad, making it a valuable resource for young readers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...Ann's journey to freedom is harrowing and heartbreaking, and of course, so many stories like hers were anything but happy. This is a very cool book for young readers (8-12) who are learning more about slavery and its terrible place in our nation's history. There's some great backmatter, too, including an author's note with lots of information, discussion points and a glossary.-- "Girls Read the World"<br><br>What if the I Survived series focused more on female, historical heroines? That's what the new Girls Survive series sets out to do. . . .Each book in the series--which includes books on the Titanic and the Civil War--includes historical context, discussion questions, and glossaries for those inclined to the historical side.-- "Barnes & Noble Kids, 5 Books for Fans of the I Survived Series"<br>
