Summary
Add a Summary(This is from the back of the book,changed words) Levi fought the current,and suddenly both heads went under. They were in the middle of the river,in the coldest,deepest part where the current ran wild and swift. Their legs began to tremble, and then their arms. That set their teeth chattering. Who knows how deep the water was below them? The shore seemed farther and farther away. They were caught between here and there. ____________________________ (This is the bottom back of the book) Just eleven when he flees from his Georgia plantation, Solomon avoids the slavecatchers and reaches the border separating the United States from Canada. But his grandfather - his only remaining family - has been injured and would not survive the crossing. If Solomon does reach Canada, how will he make his way without Grandpa Jacob at his side? ____________________________

it was an interresting book i love the name of it. it soutes th.e tittle
Little slow paced but okay
This book was great! It was really good! Solomon tries to reach Canada. It's about Canada, freedom and it's emotional. I have to say, this book was the saddest of all 10 silverbirch books (even though I didn't read 3 yet). In the beginning, when grandpa Jacob got hurt and Solomon had to separate with him,, I was sitting in the corner crying reading this! So sad! My favourite part was when Solomon, his dad and grandpa Jacob reunited. So sad again!
This waz the worst book I read yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
This is a truly Canadian book. It makes me proud of my country!
I loved this Canadian book so much!!!!!! It shows how Solomon tries to reach Canada.

this book did not interest me that much
This was an amazing, adventurous book that really kept my attention throughout the entire novel. I really understood this book because of Underground To Canada. My favourite character was Levi and Beulah because I think Beulah's character was very cute and Levi was brave throughout the novel. I think the cover was very eye catching, because it makes the book look like an adventure and you wonder if one of the characters actually fall into the water.
