Description
In 19th-century America, Clara and her family are drawn into the dangerous world of the Underground Railroad when a mysterious quilt offers more than warmth—it carries coded instructions for escape. As Clara learns to read the “freedom” hidden in patterns and symbols, she must rely on courage, community, and quick thinking to help others find safety. Blending suspense with historical insight, this story explores how creativity, communication, and collective action can challenge injustice. Deborah Hopkinson’s vivid, accessible storytelling brings the era to life while honoring the ingenuity and resilience of those who fought for freedom.
