Eleven-year-old George Washington Black—or Wash—a field slave on a Barbados sugar plantation, is initially terrified when he is chosen as the manservant of his master’s brother. To his surprise, however, the eccentric Christopher Wilde turns out to be a naturalist, explorer, inventor, and abolitionist. Soon Wash is initiated into a world where a flying machine can carry a man across the sky, where even a boy born in chains may embrace a life of dignity and meaning, and where two people, separated by an impossible divide, can begin to see each other as human.

All encompassing and sweeping take of a young black boy escaped from slavery
Revisado: 01-03-21
This is a wondrous book, telling the terrifying and sensory details of enslaved plantation life for a young black boy before he meets the brother of his owner, a warm and caring scientist with wild ideas and complicated privilege. We follow the boy washington black throughout his life into young adulthood. Great reading and gorgeous language. At times, the descriptions of nature and experiments were astonishingly beautiful. Great and unique read!
