1-3My America series.
In a believable first-person voice, nine-year-old Corey records his experiences as he and his mother follow the Underground Railroad in search of his father, who recently fled northward from slavery. Corey, who has secretly learned to read and write from his father, emerges as a multi-dimensional character in the suspenseful, tightly focused novel. A concise afterword places the events within historical context.
