Bookroo's summary

In 1854 Maryland, twelve-year-old Ann faces a heart-wrenching choice when her family is threatened with separation. As their master plans to sell Ann and her brother, the family must embark on a perilous journey north via the Underground Railroad. With freedom hanging in the balance, will they navigate the dangers and find their way to safety? Ann's courage and determination are tested as she leads her family through a treacherous path, where every decision could mean life or death. Can they outsmart those who seek to keep them enslaved and reach the promise of freedom?

From the publisher

Twelve-year-old Ann understands there is only one thing to be grateful for as a slave: having her family together. But when the master falls into debt, he plans to sell both Ann and her younger brother to two different owners. Ann is convinced her family must run away on the Underground Railroad. Will Ann’s family survive the dangerous trip to their freedom in the North ? This Girls Survive story is supported by a glossary, discussion questions, and nonfiction material on the Underground Railroad, making it a valuable resource for young readers.
