Celebrate America's 250th with this true story of a young teen's fight for his country 1776-1782
An amazing real-life story of a young sailor and patriot during the American Revolution
In 1777, the American Revolution is raging, and 12-year-old Christopher Hawkins runs away to join a privateer fighting against England. His ship is captured, but he later escapes from the British. At 17, Christopher again joins a privateer and once more is captured by the British. This time he is sent to the HMS Jersey, the war's deadliest prison ship. Armed with only courage, cunning, and a sense of humor, Christopher Hawkins faces death as he escapes twice more from his captors.
Christopher's escape leads him through New York City, Sag Harbor, Long Island, and Rhode Island. The main character is the author's 4th great-grandfather. Hawkins' story has been recorded in several texts on the Revolutionary War. This novel is expanded and adapted from Christopher Hawkins' memoir. The book is for children ages 9-14.
