Grace has grown up enslaved on a Virginia plantation.  As desperately difficult as her life is, she has her family surrounding her.  But when Grace overhears the plantation owners plotting to sell her brothers, she knows the family must leave to seek their freedom.  With no time to plan for the Underground Railroad, the family  must instead turn to the remote wilderness of the Dismal Swamp. 

This resource collection focuses on flexible thinking routines, discussion structures and background building including connections to Canada’s own history with enslavement and systemic racism.  Routines will support Book Club structures, but can also be effective in Read Alouds, Shared and Coached Reading

If your school did not participate in a 2021 share out of the book club set, purchases can be made through LRS TBC#183687, current listing $5.50.
