Book Synopsis

Samuel, 13, spends his days in the forest, hunting for food for his family. He has grown up on the frontier of a British colony, America. Far from any town, or news of the war against the King that American patriots have begun near Boston.

But the war comes to them. British soldiers and Iroquois attack. Samuel’s parents are taken away, prisoners. Samuel follows, hiding, moving silently, determined to find a way to rescue them. Each day he confronts the enemy, and the tragedy and horror of this war. But he also discovers allies, men and women working secretly for the patriot cause. And he learns that he must go deep into enemy territory to find his parents: all the way to the British headquarters, New York City.

    This book was poorly written with no describing details. It ends abruptly. It was also very predictable and not worth the read. I had to stop half way through then finish it a month later because I was bored to death! Samuels adventure was not a very interesting one.

    It was a great book and I loved that there was action and peace just like in your Hatchet books you and Louis Lamour have inspired me to be a book writer. from KolbeWestmoreland
