[.ca] Steal Away Home (ISBN 0689824351)

a review:
Steal away home is a book about these quakers who move from boston to kansas during the civil war. The lady is helping slaves get into free land while her husband is gone away working. He ends up finding out, and thinks it is dishonorable, but he agrees. It is a good book for people if they like to read.

Very Good Book:
The book Steal Away Home by Lois Ruby is very good.There are two main characters. One is twelve-year-old James Baylor Weaver, who lives in Lawrence, Kansas, in the year 1856. His house is a station on the Underground Railroad, but only while his father is away. James and his mother and his sister Rebecca must keep this a secret from James's father. The other main character is twelve-year-old Dana Shannon, who lives in James's house about 140 years later. When she discovers a human skeleton in a hidden room behind a wall in her house, she and some scientists work hard to find out who the skeleton is. (Or was.) But Dana has something that the police don't - a diary that she found in the room, the diary of Millicent Weaver, James's mother. From the diary, she learns that the skeleton is Lizbet Charles. But why did Lizbet die? To find out, read this book. It is a very interesting book and I would reccomend it to anyone who likes to read.

Steal Away Home:
This is an excellent book for any kid who lives in Kansas to read. It includes a lot of Kansas History during the anti-slave era of the 1850's. I enjoyed the story and loved the way the story took you back in time through a journal that the main character, Dana, finds in her Lawrence, Ks. home.

Running Away From Slavery:
Dana's taking down wallpaper in a room and decides to get a hammer and knocks down some of the wall out. She finds a secret room with a skeleton a cot with a diary. She finds out about the life people lived in the 1850's from the diary. Such as the Weaver's are hiding slaves. There were different things I did and didn't like about the book. I didn't like how every other chapter the plot would switch from the Weaver's life to Dana's. I did like how they used references from the Bible such as "Always do God's will". Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix and Steal Away Home are related books in a way. It has to do with not allowing third born children living a normal life. They must do chores inside the house and must not go outside, and must not communicate or be seen by civilized people. The two books are related because the people in the books are prejudice against people who are different
