Runaway

This title follows a slave in the American deep South during the early 1800s as she makes an escape attempt to a free slave state in the North. As she runs she remembers the beatings, the separation from her family and the horror of slave daily life.Yesterday’s Voices is a fantastic new series that gives older Hi-Lo readers manageable, yet highly sophisticated, thought-provoking historical fiction. Each story will include a spread that gives the reader the factual background to the historical theme or event explored in the story.
