"Reading is freedom," Hannah's mother tells her. "The thoughts in
books are powerful strong, stronger even than chains," her father
says. When ten-year-old Amanda hears noises in the night, she
sneaks downstairs and discovers her house is a stop on the
Underground Railroad During the brief time that Hannah, a runaway
slave, hides out in Amanda's house, the two girls become fast
friends. Hannah tells Amanda how she intends to be free in EVERY
way--including the freedom that comes from knowing how to read and
write. Risking everything, Amanda impulsively decides to help.
Crackling with suspense, this moving, accessible story says much
about the power of friendship and the power of literacy.
