Elijah of Buxton

Elijah Of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Elijah was the first child born in the settlement of Buxton - a village created by freed and runaway slaves. This story weaves Elijah's story with the hardships of everyday life creating a community in the Canadian forest. You'll fall in love with this story. Humorous, sad, uplifting and powerful. A Newbery Honor book.
