Master storyteller Christopher Paul Curtis's Newbery Honor novel,
featuring his trademark humor, unique narrative voice, and new
cover art--now in paperback
Eleven-year-old Elijah lives in Buxton, Canada, a settlement of
runaway slaves near the American border. He's the first child in
town to be born free, and he ought to be famous just for that.
Unfortunately, all that most people see is a "fra-gile" boy who's
scared of snakes and talks too much. But everything changes when a
former slave steals money from Elijah's friend, who has been saving
to buy his family out of captivity in the South. Now it's up to
Elijah to track down the thief--and his dangerous journey just
might make a hero out of him, if only he can find the courage to
get back home.
