Horn Book Review
Ranger, a search-and-rescue golden retriever, time travels to preCivil War Maryland. He helps slave siblings Sarah and Jesse escape through the Underground Railroad before Jesse is sold to another plantation. The action-packed story moves along briskly to its positive conclusion. The series' time-travel-adventure premise makes for an appealing introduction to historical fiction; black-and-white illustrations and an author's note are included. Reading list, websites. Bib.
