Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, the #1 New York Times bestseller from Colson Whitehead, a magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South

Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood--where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned--Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted.
In Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor--engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom.
Like the protagonist of Gulliver's Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey--hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

Great enrichment activity for dogs!
Color: Blue Green Orange, Color: Blue Green Orange
This mat provides excellent enrichment time for scent hounds. Our mini dachshund puppy loves finding treats hidden in the mat. It is also a very affordable option. Our puppy likes to play and sleep on it even when there aren’t treats in it. If your dog is an aggressive or obsessive chewer, I would only leave out when treats or food are hidden inside and then pick up because it will get damaged.

Great puzzle mat!
Color: Blue Green Orange, Color: Blue Green Orange
My boys love these snuffle mats. Since I bought them, they are always excited when I pull them from the cabinet. It keeps them busy for a while, and they don't eat their kibbles too quickly. It's simple to clean; I just put it in the washer and hang it to dry. Suitable for small dogs, such as my babies.

Color: Blue Green Orange
What a Piece of Garbage! If I could I’d have given this ZERO STARS!!! My Dogs WON’T GET NEAR IT! Obviously it smells wrong or they sense that it is TRASH!! If I were a canine, I wouldn’t give it my consideration Either! It looks large online but when you receive it, it is a Small RAG! THIS Attempt at a SNUFFLE MAT IS INSULTING!!! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this GARBAGE‼️During the time period I had to return it, I was in the Hospital after having a Heart Attack!!I am still trying to Recover & I CANNOT DO MUCH!! Otherwise I would have returned it!!! It’s sitting in a corner in my bedroom. I had to unwrap the CHEAP PLASTIC WRAP COVER so I could even tell WHATit was. As It was diagonally Rolled UP, I had to unwrap & look at it & show it to my Dogs-The DOGS WOULDN’t get near it & now I’m STUCK WITH THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT I CANNOT GET MY MONEY BACK ON‼️Yes, I am upset ! This ugly Thing hasn’t even been TOUCHED by my 3 Dogs & now I’m STUCK WITH SOMETHING USELESS THAT MY DOGS WOULDN’t even get near & I CAN’T GET A REFUND FOR!!! THIS IS THE TYPE OF TRANSACTION THAT I FIND HIGHLY OFFENSIVE ABOUT AMAZON & the Fly By Night companies they represent!!!!!

Nice but…
Color: Blue Green Orange
Nice but not very sturdy and it comes rolled up so it’s difficult to get it to lay down for your dog.

Both my dogs LOVE find the treat game time!
Color: Orange Red Blue, Color: Orange Red Blue
Both my dogs have loved this for years. Both senior dogs - great fun activity for them and they really hunt for all the treats we hide! My little one usually wins and takes over the game board then uses it as a lounger after :-) It’s very interactive with different ways to hide treats and challenge the dogs. We’ve had it awhile and it has stood up to many uses and washes. Very easy to store and simply roll out when it’s game time. Highly recommend!
