A National Book Award Finalist A Newbery Medal Winning AuthorTwelve-year-old Charlie is down on his luck: His sharecropper father just died and Cap'n Buck — the most fearsome man in Possum Moan, South Carolina — has come to collect a debt. Fearing for his life, Charlie strikes a deal with Cap'n Buck and agrees to track down some folks accused of stealing from the cap'n and his boss. It's not too bad of a bargain for Charlie . . . until he comes face-to-face with the fugitives and discovers their true identities. Torn between his guilty conscience and his survival instinct, Charlie needs to figure out his next move — and soon. It's only a matter of time before Cap'n Buck catches on.Grades 4-7 |Age 9-12 |Lexile 960

A thought-provoking book from a master storyteller.

Curtis portrays Charlie as a product of his white Southern upbringing and values, skillfully conveying how his widening view of the world leads to a change in his thinking. Written in persuasive dialect and piloted by a hero who finds the courage to do what he knows is right, Curtis's unsparing novel pulls no punches as it illuminates an ugly chapter of American history.

Newbery winner Curtis once again successfully draws on the stories about enslaved people who found freedom in Canada . . . A characteristically lively and complex addition to the historical fiction of the era from Curtis.

Curtis's ability to intertwine humor and tragedy, change pacing effectively, and find hope in the direst of circumstances is masterful . . . Readers will be riveted by the conclusion . . . if they can see the words through their tears.
