Shackles
Based on a true story, Shackles describes what happens when a group of boys—Hunter and his younger brothers, Oliver and Taylor, and three friends—search for buried treasure in their backyard on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. When they unexpectedly dig up shackles, instead of the treasure they were hoping for, they are sad and confused. Neighbor and friend Mr. Green is summoned, and tries to explain the painful hidden history of Sullivan’s Island. With 16 original illustrations.
