Blending realism and allegory, Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a story about liberation and resilience unlike any other. Drawing inspiration from America’s antebellum era, Whitehead reimagines the famous Underground Railroad as an actual network of tunnels and rail tracks beneath the South. It’s through this subterranean system that two runaway slaves named Cora and Caesar attempt to escape to the North, fighting for their freedom at every step of the way. Because of its mature content, this book is best suited for older high school students.
