Title: 40 acres and a LOT of cotton
Product review: 40 Acres and Maybe a Mule is a great book, and I really enjoyed it. It is a very heartfelt story about a boy that's 12 years old named Pascal. His brother, Gideon, about 16 years old, finally shows back up at the plantation after two years of being gone. He says the slaves have been freed. Pascal gets his 8 year old friend Nelly and tells her to pack up. They're going to leave to freedom. They leave their plantation and eventually end up in Georgia, where they get a land grant. They find their land and start a beatuiful home with the cotton crops flourishing. Despite the great wealth of cotton and their new home, they never get a mule. But more and more slaves are losing their homes. The book gives a great message of hope, belonging, and friendship as their family grows and Pascal learns the true meaning of freedom.
