"Underground to Canada" by Barbara Smucker. My rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Published in 2003.

Book description: Taken away from her mother by a ruthless slave trader, all Julilly has left is the dream of freedom. Every day that she spends huddled in the slave trader’s wagon traveling south or working on the brutal new plantation, she thinks about the land where it is possible to be free, a land she and her friend Liza may reach someday. So when workers from the Underground Railroad offer to help the two girls escape, they are ready. But the slave catchers and their dogs will soon be after them…

Although I think this book was designed for younger readers, it can be enjoyed by people of any age.
