description: Meet Rambler, a runaway slave who roamed the countryside with a guitar slung over his shoulder, singing and playing the blues. He knew the only way to stay free was to keep moving. Newbery Honor author Julius Lester is a gifted storyteller who has beautifully crafted these six award-winning stories. All are based on real people--human beings who had one thing in common: They were slaves in a country--our country--dedicated to freedom.
