Steal Away Home

Steal Away Home is by Lois Ruby. When Lois discovers a diary and a human skeleton in a hidden room, she learns that her house was a station on the Underground Railroad. The story alternates between the present and 1856. A wonderful tale of mystery, suffering, and tolerance. A great introduction to historical fiction.

Ratings: 7th grade - 9 out of 10.
