A review by alaskanmichelle
The Madman of Piney Woods by Christopher Paul Curtis
4.0
I really enjoyed this book.
This is a companion book to Elijah of Buxton. It takes place 40 years after Elijah of Buxton. However, it could be read as a stand alone novel.
The story follows two children living in nearby Canadian towns. One the grandchild of former slaves and the other is the grandchild of a survivor of the Irish Potato Famine. It chronicles their friendship, family relationships, and discusses PTSD in time periods that I have never read about before.
I think boys in grades 5 and up would really enjoy this book.
