BOOK : Promises to the dead by Hahn

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Hahn, Mary Downing._Promises to the dead._Clarion, 2000
 [0-395-96394-X]
One day while hunting turtles, Jesse promises a dying runaway
slave lady that he would help her son get to the north.  This is the
story of two boys trying to travel away from the slave catchers who
are chasing them.  They have many adventures and meet many
interesting people.   This 202 page book is pretty good all except
the improbable beginning with a young white boy promising a dying
slave to take care of her child.  If the reader can bypass that, it is a
good read.
