Underground to Canada je približno dvanajstletna Julilly in njen pogumni beg na svobodo. Zgodovinsko leposlovje, napisano posebej za mlade bralce, se dogaja pred državljansko vojno in ne prikazuje le preizkušenj in stisk, ki so jih prestali zasužnjeni ljudje, ampak tudi junaška prizadevanja tistih, ki so jim pomagali na njihovi poti do svobode.
