Summary: This book is the first of a series of books about two brothers. Paul and Mitchell were born in the 1800’s to a bi-racial family, which is not an accepted event during this time. Paul makes a deal with Mitchell that if he teaches him to read and write, Mitchell will teach him to fight. The two bond and run away from home. This would be a great book for older elementary students to learn about slavery.
