About the Book


Sid Johnson's parents claim they don't know anything about a slave stealer that slave holders call the "Phantom." But when Sid discovers that their Southern Illinois farm is a stop on the Underground Railroad, he isn't so sure Ma and Pa are telling him the truth. They could get caught breaking the law. When bounty hunters threaten Pa, Sid resolves to take action to protect the family. Before his plans are in place, bounty hunters burn the barn. With a civil war brewing and the farm compromised as a stop on the Underground Railroad, Ma and Pa decide to go west. Disappointed that he failed to learn any more about the slave stealer, Sid is glad to leave the slave question behind. He is about to find out that the ugly shadow of slavery reaches beyond the Johnson farm to the Santa Fe Trail, and his involvement with the Phantom Slave Stealer has just begun.

Review :

Exhilarating and enjoyable, Frances Schoonmaker's Sid Johnson and the Phantom Slave Stealer is a middle-grade historical fiction that should be used both for children's education and entertainment. I think it is deserving of a place on the shelf of a children's section of every library.

- M. Gordoni, Pacific Book Review


We need more books like this for the age group...reads well and tells a good story.

- Leo Oliva, Santa Fe Trail Historian


Libraries looking for vivid historical backdrops and action-packed adventures that pose no easy solutions for their characters will find Sid Johnson and the Phantom Slave Stealer an engrossing story that deserves not just acquisition, but assignment for discussion groups tackling the history and issues of slavery and those involved with it on all sides.
