this was an amazing read its about a well mannered boy named samuel who lives in a orphanage during the cilvil war era with his bad ass younger brother joshua. samuel gets sold to slavery sticking up for his brother and tries his best to get back to his brother. this was an amazing story. i havent read a lot of historical stories so this was really intriguing. i felt like i was entering a time machine when i opened the book again 8/10
