"I dont know how many" Father says."But we can run before the slave catcher comes." "Run away?"Thats crazy talk! They'll hang us" your mother says. (chapter 2,pg 15). The dad wants to run away and even though they would hang him if they find him he's not afraid.

He stands up straight. "Better to die in freedom than live a slave. Come with me." (chapter 2, pg 15) He says it's better trying to escape than being a slave.

I would not recommend this book to people who like to get long books because this book is not very long and I finished it pretty quick.
