A superb book for young readers. Not only did the book make me laugh, it gave me much insight on conditions for freed slaves who escaped and found a new life in Canada. I highly recommend this for any upper elementary or junior high student. It is a funny story with important and interesting history underneath. Many schoolkids study slavery and the Underground RR--this book provides a glimpse of "what happens next?"
