Underground to Canada on umbes kaheteistkümneaastane Julilly ja tema julge põgenemine vabadusse. See on spetsiaalselt noortele lugejatele kirjutatud ajalooline ilukirjandus. See lugu leiab aset enne kodusõda ning see ei kujuta mitte ainult orjastatud inimeste katsumusi, vaid ka nende inimeste kangelaslikke pingutusi, kes aitasid neid vabaduse poole.
Laske õpilastel koostada ämblikukaart, et määratleda ja illustreerida uut sõnavara maa-alusest Kanadani, autor Barbara Smucker.
