In Reed's Flight to Canada, Ishmael tells the story of his family's escape from slavery in America and their journey to freedom in Canada. The novel is divided into three parts: before, during, and after the escape. Before the escape, the narrator's family lives in a cabin in the woods, where they are constantly watched by their master. During the escape, the family makes their way across the ocean aboard a slave ship, and after the escape they live in a free community in Canada. Reed's writing is lyrical and descriptive, and the characters are well-developed. The story is inspiring, and it is a great read for anyone interested in history or freedom.; 8vo; 179 pages.
