(3) 4-6 In 1842, twelve-year-old Virginia native Elias is sent to Kentucky to the experimental tuberculosis hospital of Dr. John Croghan. As he regains his health, Elias builds relationships, not with the other (white) patients, but with the black slaves working there. Based on historical events, Elias's story is exciting, and the message of shared humanity is strong without being didactic.
