"Friend on Freedom River" by Gloria Whelan tells the story of a young girl named Elizabeth who befriends a runaway enslaved boy named Jacob. Set against the backdrop of the Underground Railroad, their friendship blossoms as they navigate the dangers of escape and the pursuit of freedom. Elizabeth's family is involved in helping those seeking refuge, and together, she and Jacob learn about bravery, sacrifice, and the importance of standing against injustice. Their journey not only tests their courage but also deepens their understanding of freedom and friendship in a divided world. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
