I picked up Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis in preparation for a book talk I'm presenting to teachers next week.
I didn't get into it quickly--the colloquialisms and slapstick aspects just didn't pull me in. Now, however, I'm pulled! I'm nearly to the end and sad to see how few pages remain.
I'm eager to get this into the hands of teachers--and from them to the hearts of some young readers.
