I think the title is very important. Elijah of Buxton tells you the main character AND the town he's from. The only change i would make, would be to call it just Elijah because they already mention Buxton in the story.

In the story so far, a new freed family comes to live in Buxton, and Mrs. Holton's still slaved husband, John, was killed by his "owner". In my mind, I have a vivid image of slave catchers coming to Buxton in the future. This book reminds me of the book __Freedom Crossing__. Since Buxton is in Canada, slave catchers might come from America. In one chapter, Ma was talking to Mrs. Holton about being a slave as a child. The heart-wrenching thought of being ripped away from your own mother and sent to work is terrible. Now I definitely do think slave catchers will come.
