Trouble Don't Last

Trouble Don't Last
by Shelley Pearsall


You are Samuel, an eleven year old slave.  You are running away from your master.  You are running with Harrison, an elderly slave, who has taken care of you all your life. You didn't plan on running away but when Harrison woke you up in the middle of the night you followed him and now you're on the run to freedom in Canada.


As you run you constantly wonder if you will survive your journey.   Can you avoid slave catchers? Can you find shelter?  Can you find food?Can you avoid getting lost?  Can you make it? The odds seem impossible but you try.
