47 is the first young adult novel to be written by bestselling author Walter Mosley. A master storyteller, Mosley deftly mixes speculative and historical fiction in this daring novel. Set in a plantation, 47 (a young slave boy) is growing up under the watchful eye of a brutal slave master. His life seems doomed, until he meets the mysterious Tall John who not only introduces him to an unimaginable magical science but teaches 47 the meaning of freedom.
WALTER MOSLEY is the author of the bestsellers Bad Boy Brawly Brown, and Fear Itself; the acclaimed Easy Rawlins series of mysteries; and other works of fiction and non-fiction. He is the recipient of a Grammy Award, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, and many other honors. He was born in Los Angeles and lives in New York.
