A review by lnocita
Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis

4.0

Christopher Paul Curtis has great voice in his books and Elijah of Buxton is no exception. Eli is the first freeborn child of former slaves in the free settlement of Buxton in Canada. Slavery is still very much an issue in the states. Curtis crafts a well told story by giving us glimpses of Eli's everyday life. You can't help but be charmed. Good historical fiction.
