Writer: Paul McCusker

 

Description:

"Run!" the reverend shouted. "Run for your lives!"

 

In that split second, life for Matt Booker and his best friend, Jack Davis, turned into chaos. Boy, were they in a lot of trouble!

 

It all started when they were playing catch in the yard at Whit's End. Jack missed a pass and, while searching the woods for the ball, stumbled upon a trap door. If only Matt and Jack had obeyed the sign that warned, "Keep Out." But they didn't. And then they got carried away. Literally.

 

Climbing around the The Imagination Station, the two friends were propelled back to the days before the Civil War - not a good place to be if, like Matt, you're black. After interrupting a meeting with the Reverend Andrew, who was helping slaves escape to freedom along the Underground Railroad. well... things just went from bad to worse! Matt was captured by slave hunters, leaving Jack and the reverend to rescue him. But would they find him... and in time?

 

Rating:

*****

I'm rather confused as to why it was necessary to write two books about treating all races with dignity. Didn't they already communicate that well enough in The Underground Railroad? The story is okay, but is overwhelmingly similar in nature to a familiar Odyssey episode.

 

The second part of the story takes place in Freedom Run.

 

 

Book:

This novel is no longer available, however, this book will be released in a new multivolume version of the series soon.
