What Was the Underground Railroad? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, Who HQ

3.0

A history of the Underground Railroad for young readers. This was a good entry in this series, but could have used a bit more depth in places. The historical background felt a bit rushed. It did a better job when it was telling the stories of individuals who made the escape from slavery, and there were a number of people highlighted in these chapters whose stories I was unfamiliar with. I read this with my son, who is very interested in social justice issues, and I felt like it did a good job of holding his interest while providing some background and context.
