cstwhee said: Also part of my MG research reading list. It gives a unique perspective that I hadn't encountered before. Elijah lives in a free community made up entirely of former slaves, and he has the distinction of being the first child born free there. He has learned about slavery from others who lived through it, and has deep respect for them. But one day, he has an eye-opening experience that gives him a new, heart-wrenching perspective on slavery and those that still endured it.
