Description
The Silver Meteor train rumbles to life as Ruth Ellen embarks on a journey towards a new life. In poems, she tells her story, leaving behind the cotton fields and distant Blue Ridge mountains. As she travels north, Ruth Ellen reflects on the freedom and opportunity that awaits her family, mirroring her own experiences with the words of Frederick Douglass. Through bold illustrations, James Ransome brings Ruth Ellen's journey to life, from sprawling landscapes to cramped train cars. This poignant story is one of people running from and running to at the same time, a powerful tale that will stay with readers long after the final pages are turned. A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year, this book has been selected for several notable lists, including those of the American Library Association and Junior Library Guild.
