Elijah was a special person in Buxton for a lot of reasons. First of all, he was the first free baby born in the Settlement. The Settlement of Buxton was in Canada and was started by a minister who didn't believe in slavery. The second reason he was special was because he threw up all over Fredrick Douglass. It was a sight no one in Buxton would ever forget. Elijah life changes when a former slave, Right Reverend Zephariah W. Connerly, III steals money from Elijah's friend Mr. Leroy, who had been saving to buy his family out of captivity in the south. Read this book to see what happens as Elijah joins Mr. Leroy on a dangerous journey south, into the United States, to get the money back. Stop by the library and check out this book!
