The National Book Award finalist by Christopher Paul Curtis!
Twelve-year-old Charlie is down on his luck: His sharecropper
father just died and Cap'n Buck -- the most fearsome man in Possum
Moan, South Carolina -- has come to collect a debt. Fearing for his
life, Charlie strikes a deal with Cap'n Buck and agrees to track
down some folks accused of stealing from the cap'n and his boss.
It's not too bad of a bargain for Charlie... until he comes
face-to-face with the fugitives and discovers their true
identities. Torn between his guilty conscience and his survival
instinct, Charlie needs to figure out his next move -- and soon.
It's only a matter of time before Cap'n Buck catches on. Newbery
Medalist Christopher Paul Curtis brings his trademark humor and
heart to this story of a boy struggling to do right in the face of
history's cruelest evils.
