Much as he adores her and fears for her life, Homer knows there's no turning back, not with the overseer on their trail. Through tangled vines, secret doorways, and over a sky bridge, the two find a secret community called Freewater, deep in the swamp. In this society created by formerly enslaved people and some freeborn children, Homer finds new friends, almost forgetting where he came from. But when he learns of a threat that could destroy Freewater, he crafts a plan to find his mother and help his new home. Deeply inspiring and loosely based on the history of maroon communities in the South, this is a striking tale of survival, adventure, friendship, and courage."-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 8-12. $b Little, Brown and Company. 521 $a Ages 10 up $b Thorndike Press. 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Thorndike Press. 541 $d 20230419. 650 $a African Americans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Slavery $v Juvenile fiction. 650 7 $a Siblings $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Communities $v Juvenile fiction. 650 7 $a Large print books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 830 $a Thorndike Press youth large print. 830 $a Thorndike Press youth large print. 941 $a 1 952 $l VZPB964 $d 20230527010517.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE73B708FC5311EDAEC606805BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
