Maybe freedom was something you claimed for yourself.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like other ex-slaves, Pascal and his older brother Gideon have been promised forty acres and maybe a mule. With the family of friends they have built along the way, they claim a place of their own. Green Gloryland is the most wonderful place on earth, their own family farm with a healthy cotton crop and plenty to eat. But the notorious night riders have plans to take it away, threatening to tear the beautiful freedom that the two boys are enjoying for the first time in their young lives. Coming alive in plain, vibrant language is this story of the Reconstruction, after the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aladdin Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689833175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/1999 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond the Cover Author Interv\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2000 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e27750 \/ Forty Acres and Maybe a Mule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Harriette Gillem Robinet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36640037404828,"sku":"9780689833175","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3d66f4e0-a3f5-4a35-948d-6c80502165b3.jpg?v=1603851220","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/forty-acres-and-maybe-a-mule-9780689833175","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
