(3) YA Combining history, romance, and mystery, this compelling story of the Underground Railroad tackles serious themes maturely yet gently. Set in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and very loosely based on historical figures, the story follows Charlotte Brown and her fellow runaway slaves through their provocative underground explorations and emotional evolution. While highly readable, the book requires some historical background.
