This is the dizzying adventure of eleven-year-old Washington Black, who manages to escape his life as a slave and embarks on an unprecedented adventure in search of freedom.

When Washington Black, an eleven-year-old slave on a sugar plantation in Barbados, becomes the personal servant of the eccentric Titch Wilde, he is given the chance to start a new life. Titch is a biologist, explorer and inventor, obsessed with his creation: the hot air balloon. But the death of a family member shatters his idealistic plans and Washington finds himself in danger. They decide to flee, but then Titch disappears. Washington must find his way alone, in search of true freedom.

Edugyan takes you on an incredible adventure, from the scorching sugar cane fields of Barbados to the icy wastes of the Canadian North, in her extraordinary novel about identity, freedom, love and redemption.
