- 2003107005 abstract "Jack makes a daring escape from a life of slavery, stowing away on a Mississippi steamboat. The time is the 1840s, and Jack, a young black slave, is sold at auction. Separated from Molly, his beloved younger sister, he is sent to Mississippi and forced to work in the cotton fields for a harsh and demanding master. Making his escape, he stows away on a Mississippi steamer. It would seem only a matter of time before Jack is discovered, captured, and sent back to the plantation, but good fortune is with him. A kindly boatman discovers him, but rather than turn Jack in, he directs him to a group of Quaker abolitionists. The Quakers help Jack as he successfully makes his northward flight to freedom. Then, Jack receives an astonishing surprise, a surprise that gives him great happiness. Handsome full-color illustrations complement this dramatic story, which carries a powerful message of hope.".
