Elijah of Buxton 巴克斯顿的以利亚 （纽伯瑞银奖小说） ISBN 9780439023450 azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

Eleven-year-old Elijah lives in Buxton, Canada, a settlement of runaway slaves

near the American border. He's the first child in town to be born free, and he

ought to be famous just for that. Unfortunately, all that most people see is a

"fra-gile" boy who's scared of snakes and talks 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.

From Booklist

*Starred Review* After his mother rebukes him for

screaming that hoop snakes have invaded Buxton, gullible 11-year-old Elijah

confesses to readers that "there ain't nothing in the world she wants more than

for me to quit being so doggone fra-gile." Inexperienced and prone to mistakes,

yet kind, courageous, and understanding, Elijah has the distinction of being the

first child born in the Buxton Settlement, which was founded in Ontario in 1849

as a haven for former slaves. Narrator Elijah tells an episodic story that

builds a broad picture of Buxton's residents before plunging into the dramatic

events that take him out of Buxton and, quite possibly, out of his depth. In the

author's note, Curtis relates the difficulty of tackling the subject of slavery

realistically through a child's first-person perspective. Here, readers learn

about conditions in slavery at a distance, though the horrors become

increasingly apparent. Among the more memorable scenes are those in which Elijah

meets escaped slavesfirst, those who have made it to Canada and, later, those

who have been retaken by slave catchers. Central to the story, these scenes show

an emotional range and a subtlety unusual in children's fiction. Many readers

drawn to the book by humor will find themselves at times on the edges of their

seats in suspense and, at other moments, moved to tears. A fine, original novel

from a gifted storyteller. Phelan, Carolyn
