A Newbery Medal winner, this historical middle-grade novel tells a story of courage in slavery-era America. When young Homer and his sister Ada escape from Southerland Plantation, they must leave their beloved mother behind. Soon they find Freewater, a hidden community of escaped slaves and freeborn children. Here, Homer almost forgets his painful past. But when an outside threat looms over Freewater, Homer faces a choice: return to Southerland to free his mother or risk the newfound freedom he’s only just begun to embrace.
