Escape into the Night

Join Libby, Caleb, and Jordan On a Race for Freedom-

Twelve-year-old Libby Norstad isn't sure she's going to like her new life on the Mississippi River in 1857. After all, how many girls her age live on a steamboat? And life isn't any easier with Caleb, the cabin boy who's always on some mysterious mission and who seems determined to make Libby miserable.

When a fugitive slave comes aboard, Libby and Caleb find themselves tangled up together in the Underground Railroad, trying to help Jordan escape from the slave catchers. But many miles lie between the riverboat and the free northern states. With bloodhounds sniffing their tracks, will they ever bring Jordan to safety?
