Artikelbeschreibung
Unbenutzt, neuwertig! -
Eleven-year-old Elijah lives in Buxton, Canada, a settlement of runaway slaves near the American border. Elijah´s the first child in town to be born free, and he ought to be famous for that - not to mention for being the best at chunking rocks and catching fish. Unfortunately, all that most people see is a "fra-gile" boy who´s scared of snakes and tends to talk too much. But everything changes when a former slave steals money from Elijah´s friend, who has been saving to buy his family out of captivity in the South. Now it´s up to Elijah to track down the thief - and his dangerous journey just might make a hero out of him, if only he can find the courage to get back home.
