Starting in colonial times, thousands of African people were kidnapped and brought to the United States, where they were enslaved. Those who escaped were often caught, and, if so, treated harshly, or even killed, as were those who tried to help them escape. But that didn’t stop brave people from trying. By the 1850s an escape method dubbed the Underground Railroad was in full swing. Though it wasn’t a railroad, but a network of people helping enslaved people escape to the northern United States and Canada, it used railroad terms such as conductor and station. Imagine you were an enslaved person in the 1850s, desperate to escape to freedom, or a helper on the railroad, taking great risks so others could escape to freedom. The Underground Railroad lets you choose a path … to freedom or capture and, perhaps, death.

"As someone who has read many fiction and non-fiction books and primary sources about slavery, this book leaves much to be desired. The book starts off describing the reader as an American who is "not sure" how to feel about the Fugitive Slave Act which allows slave owners to recapture escaped slaves and free black people (Think Ten Years a Slave), because "[y]ou understand how important it is for slave owners to reclaim their property. How else can Southern plantation owners make a living?" They could be subsistence farmers and actually work the land all by themselves. They could free their slaves and pay them for their labor. Slavery and human trafficking still exists and I am not sure how anyone would justify the traffickers' right to make money from enslaved humans. There is even an option in the book to be one to "capture" humans."

- As someone who has read many fiction and non-fiction books and primary sources about slavery, this book leaves much to be desired. The book starts off describing the reader as an American who is "not sure" how to feel about the Fugitive Slave Act which allows slave owners to recapture escaped slaves and free black people (Think Ten Years a Slave), because "[y]ou understand how important it is for slave owners to reclaim their property. How else can Southern plantation owners make a living?" They could be subsistence farmers and actually work the land all by themselves. They could free their slaves and pay them for their labor. Slavery and human trafficking still exists and I am not sure how anyone would justify the traffickers' right to make money from enslaved humans. There is even an option in the book to be one to "capture" humans.
- This is a "choose your own adventure" book. My son learned a lot about slavery in America, and the horrors of being enslaved...in a book suited perfectly for the 7-11 year old child. I highly recommend. He has been through the book several times choosing different scenarios.
- It's a fun read but I wish it carried the paths further.
- great book
- thank you
- Choose your own way the story progresses in so much fun --- my grandsons like this book!
- Great set of books. My 8 year old son loves this one. He's one of the top readers in his school, but these are good for quick, informational reads for him.
- Great learning tool for all ages.
