With the help of her husband Benjamin, she disguises herself as a young southern gentleman – and Benjamin's master. In this guise, the couple flee the South, explaining away their lack of literacy, avoiding those they have encountered before and holding their nerve over a thousand miles to freedom.Inspired by the amazing true story of Ellen Craft who escaped a life of slavery through a daring disguise and won freedom for herself and her husband.Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 13+

1848, America's Deep South Slave girl Rosa is pale-skinned enough to "pass for white", yet escape seems an impossible dream until she meets Benjamin. Together, they hatch a desperate plan. If Rosa poses as a white gentleman, Benjamin can travel as her slave … But can Rosa hold her nerve on their thousand mile flight to freedom? Inspired by the true story of Ellen and William Croft, this is a powerful tale of danger, injustice and unimaginable courage.
