An Exciting Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I loved this book! Libby, Caleb, and Jordan feel like friends. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. And I didn't know this stuff about the Underground Railroad. Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for writing such a good book.
Another Exciting Adventure

12-year-old Libby Norstad had lived with her aunt for several years because of her mother's death, hardly seeing her father, captain of the steamboat Christina, and leading a sheltered life. But things change quickly, and Libby moves onto the steamboat with her father! She meets Caleb, the cabin boy, who seems different to Libby. He's a part of the Underground Railroad, helping slaves reach freedom, and along with Captain Norstad, he teaches Libby some important lessons about being free. In fact, Caleb and Captain Norstad take a fugitive slave, Jordan, on board to help him find his family. Unfortunately, the Christina is being followed by Jordan's former owner, Riggs. Libby and Caleb need to keep Jordan hidden from him, but is it possible with such a crafty man?

The Riverboat Adventure series is a series about faith in God and believeing in His love though good times and bad. But, it is also a series about trusting your friends and making desisions you believe in. This book is one book you will never forget, so don't pass it down!
