It is the year 1838, and young James is tired of being a
slave on Master Graham’s farm. He makes plans to escape
north to Canada, but realizes he must leave his faithful
dog, Zeus, behind. “You’re always hungry and you’re noisy,”
James explains. Then, on the eve of the great escape, he
scratches the old mutt behind the ear and instructs him not
to follow. But the rambunctious dog doesn’t obey. Romping
through the woods making “more racket than a sack of pots
and pans,” Zeus’ hi-jinks worry the frightened boy. Afraid
the dog will give him away; James makes a desperate attempt
to get rid of his canine companion once and for all...Click here for more of the curledupkids.com review of Elisa Carbone and Earl B. Lewis's Night Running: How James Escaped with the Help of His Faithful Dog.
