That night Pascal, twelve, and his friend Nelly, eight, ran away with Gideon. They were going to get a farm. They had to hide lest they be taken back into slavery. Also, land didn't seem as easy to find as Gideon had thought. What did it mean if you had to run and hide, if you were crippled and couldn't do what others did?

Good historical fiction is hard to find, especially for younger audiences. They will understand more about the horrible lives African Americans had. Green Gloryland is the most wonderful place on earth; their own family farm with a healthy cotton crop and plenty to eat. This book is not intended to be a comedy because it helps inform the reader on how slavery life was.👨👩👧👦
