Customer Reviews

Great for ages 8-9.

A good mystery for the grades 3-4 audience. Four African-American middle school students investigate tunnels under their school for ghosts of the Underground Railroad. Slightly unbelievable that middle school kids had never heard of the Underground Railroad or that their dog digs them out of trouble. However, middle elementary should enjoy the suspense.
