Almost to Freedom
Predictions-The book will follow a group of slaves as they escape to the north on the underground railroad.
Summarize-A slave’s mother made a doll out of old materials for her daughter to have a companion. The father of the slave gets sent to another farm for trying to escape and then the rest of the family escapes to find the father at the edge of a river. The family escapes to a cabin on the other side of the river where they hide in the cellar until the slave hunters find them and they have to run. When they run the doll falls from the rope that the girl holds her in and falls back into the cellar. After a while, another family uses the cellar to hide and they have a small girl who “adopts” the doll and takes her with them.
