I enjoyed this book, but at the same time I found it one I was stunningly neutral about. Both main characters were interesting, the supporting characters were interesting, and the switches between time periods where well done. It isn't a time travel book. ( )

Steal Away Home is a story about a young girl who discovers a human skeleton in a secret room in her new home. She also finds a diary that unfolds some of the mystery of who the skeleton may have been. The book flips back and forth from the point of view of the young girl and a young boy that lived in the house just prior to the Civil War. A book that will intrigue young readers and may spark an interest in the Underground Railroad and the risks that station owners took to help runaway slaves escape to freedom. submitted by Kristy, Fall 09.
