Olá, meu nome é Finn e vou ajudar você a entender este livro.

Aqui está, explicado como se você tivesse 10 anos:

William Still trabalhava num escritório em Filadélfia onde chegavam para ajuda pessoas que fugiam da escravatura. Escondia-as, alimentava-as, anotava os seus nomes e as suas histórias e mandava-as em frente rumo à liberdade. Anos depois pôs essas histórias verdadeiras neste livro. Vais conhecer um homem que se enviou dentro de uma caixa, mães que carregaram os seus bebés pelo frio e famílias que se reencontraram depois de muitos anos separados.
