Blaming himself for his mother's death after failing to give her a voodoo remedy, young Lucas Whitaker of 1849 Connecticut becomes a doctor's apprentice and learns the difference between superstition and scientific reasoning. An ALA Notable Book. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"Although the exhumation scenes are memorable (and literally heart-wrenching), DeFelice treats the distraught families' desperate actions with sympathy and respect. The state of mid-nineteenth-century medicine, in which ministrations of trained practitioners were often as ineffective as superstitious self-doctoring, is skillfully conveyed."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush (10/19/1996)
