Description
In the Pennsylvania backwoods during the American Revolution, thirteen-year-old Samuel has learned to survive by hunting, tracking, and moving unseen through the wilderness. When British soldiers and their allies destroy his home and take his parents captive, Samuel sets out alone on a perilous journey toward enemy-held New York City to find them. Along the way, he encounters the violence and moral complexity of war, as well as couriers, spies, and ordinary people risking everything for the patriot cause. Blending fast-paced adventure with vivid historical detail, this powerful novel explores courage, survival, family devotion, and the devastating human cost of conflict.
