Description

Newbery Medalist and CSK Award winner Christopher Paul Curtis’s debut middle-grade/young-YA novel for Scholastic features his trademark humor, compelling storytelling, and unique narrative voice.

Eleven-year-old Elijah is the primary child born into freedom in Buxton, Canada, a settlement of runaway slaves just over the border from Detroit. He is highest known for having made a memorable impression on Frederick Douglass, but that changes when a former slave steals money from Elijah’s friend, who has been saving to shop for his circle of relatives out of captivity within the South. Elijah embarks on a dangerous journey to The united states in pursuit of the thief and discovers firsthand the impossible horrors of the life his parents fled–a life from which he’ll all the time be free, if he can find the courage to get back home.
