Hi class
The book I am reading right now is called Freedom's Wings. It is about a boy named Corey who is being held captive as a slave in Kentucky. It talks about his journey North on the Underground railroad. First his father leaves on the underground railroad then a man comes to help Corey and his mother Angel head North. They hear his father was cut by slave catchers but then nothing after that. They decide to go on the journey with Mr.Renfield. They can only travel by night and they use bird calls to get from one place to another. As they get closer to the Ohio River Corey must keep going on this journey alone because his mother must stay until her baby arrives. One day he looks out the window because he heard a birdsong and there was his father they travel back to get his mother and new baby sister and they travel into Canada where slave catchers can't reach them. Throughout the book Corey must make challenging decisions and he learns to be very brave.
