DESCRIPTION

The National Book Award-winning story of a slave boy who joins an antislavery crusade - and who must pass as a girl to survive. From the internationally bestselling novelist James McBride

FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HEAVEN & EARTH GROCERY STORE
'Just so brilliant'
John Green


'Wildly entertaining. A rollicking saga about one of America's earliest abolitionists'
People

Henry Shackleford is a young slave living in the Kansas Territory in 1856.

When an argument between Henry's master and legendary abolitionist John Brown turns violent, Henry is forced to leave town - along with Brown, who believes Henry to be a girl and his good luck charm.

An absorbing mixture of history and imagination, The Good Lord Bird is both a rousing adventure story and a moving exploration of identity and survival.
