    Great Children's Read!
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2021*

During Elijah's time as a boy, the villagers he lives near consider him a fragile child. When something terrible happens or when Elijah becomes afraid, he will become “fragile” or cry. Though Elijah has strived for many years to reverse this title and his inclined soft nature, he has not availed.Elijah's friend and work partner, Mr. Leroy, saves his hard-earned savings to buy his family out of slavery. When a sudden and unexpected gift from a friend sets him ahead on his journey to rescue his family, ecstatic emotion occurs. This excitement does not last long, however, for his savings are then stolen. Will Elijah solve this unexpected dilemma and help Mr. Leroy retrieve his money, family and at the same time perhaps reverse Elijah's title as fragile? Or will fate have a different turn of events?I believe this book offers a wonderous read for children. It offers excitement, joy, adventure, and challenges. Elijah demonstrates courage and love to the people around him. With these traits involved, this book is a wonderful way to encourage children to act with good behavior. Although, I believe the author took too long getting to the moral of the story. It had not needed information, and the story really starts in the last few chapters. Even with this, it is well written, and congrats to the author on the success of this book!

    A book to read over and over and over.
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2015*

This is a book everyone should read.  Normally I don't enjoy books that other people say, "You *should* read."  I did learn a lot from this book, but I also enjoyed it immensely.  I think it would be very difficult NOT to like Elijah.  He is a very complex young man, living what seems to be a very simple life.  The dialect is sometimes a bit difficult to understand.  I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had listened to someone read the  first few chapters, but eventually I was able to "hear" the dialect in my head.  School, riding an old mule vs. horse, fishing, parents -- it all seems normal until suddenly it doesn't.  The "normal" to "oh!" can happen in a paragraph, sometimes in a single sentence.  It's a book that kept me doing some mental gymnastics.  It didn't just hold my interest - it kept me fascinated.  In places it shocked me.  In places I cried.  And then I got to that amazing final chapter...  It's been weeks since I first read this book (I've reread it twice) and I still don't know exactly what I'm feeling throughout that final chapter.  I feel sick.  I feel proud.  I'm horrified.  And elated.  I put the book down and try to think, but I'm feeling too much to think.  I've learned a lot from Elijah of Buxton.  And I'm  still learning.

A historical fiction about Buxton, a city in Canada where runaway slaves could live in community.  Very well written about an interesting, inspiring and important part of our history.
