Walter Mosley is one of the best-known writers in America. In his first book for young adults, Mosley deftly weaves historical and speculative fiction into a powerful narrative about the nature of freedom. 47 is a young slave boy living under the watchful eye of a brutal slave master. His life seems doomed until he meets a mysterious runaway slave, Tall John. Then, 47 finds himself swept up in a struggle for his own liberation.

Another year down of teaching this one! Still not loving the sci-fi aspects of it, but it‘s amazing to see how engaging it is for my 7th graders.

A young adult historical/fantasy hybrid about a young slave (47) chosen by the spirits to be a leader for his people and for the world. First lesson he needs to learn is to live free and not as a slave. Great historical details included in a magical folk-tale setting.
