Cezanne Pinto: A Memoir

Summary:

Two-time Newbery Honor author Mary Stolz presents a work of astounding imagination--at once a historical novel, a fictionalized slave narrative, and a riveting adventure story. As Cezanne Pinto, who escaped from slavery at the age of 12, nears his 90th birthday, he remembers his childhood on a Virginia plantation, the cruelty of the overseers, the loss of his father, and his beloved mother.
