      In 1849, Henry “Box” Brown made a remarkable escape from slavery in the southern United States. In this action-packed graphic novel, follow Brown’s daring plan to mail himself from Richmond, Virginia, to freedom in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sealed inside a wooden crate! For twenty-seven hours, this heroic African American survived the cramped, death-defying journey, motivated by his own dream of freedom and the oppression of others like him. With fast-paced text and full-color illustrations, this can’t-miss graphic novel is sure to inspire readers of all ages.
