Synopsis
Ben and his family are slaves to Mister Tom until they plan a daring escape in the middle of the night and go south to Florida, to Indian territory. They have a long and dangerous journey ahead. But maybe among the Seminoles, they will find a place of their own—and freedom.
“History and drama blend seamlessly in this advanced chapter book.”
—The Horn Book Magazine
Kim Siegelson was the 2000 Georgia Author of the Year for Children’s Literature. She won a Coretta Scott King Award for In the Time of the Drums.
Annotation
