Set in 1860, the story follows 11-year-old Elijah, a first-generation freeborn child living in Buxton, Canada, a refuge for runaway slaves. When a corrupt preacher embezzles funds intended for a man's family's freedom, Elijah embarks on a daring journey to America to retrieve the stolen money. This compelling narrative explores themes of courage, justice, and the fight for freedom, crafted by a Newbery Medal-winning author.
