Description

Nathaniel Fox never imagined he’d find himself in the middle of a blood-soaked battlefield, fighting for his life. He’s only eleven years old! He’s barely paid attention to the troubles between America and England. Instead, he’s been worked to the bone by his cruel uncle.

But when his uncle's rage forces him to suddenly flee home, Nate finds himself in New York City, in the middle of the American Revolution. He encounters an old friend and joins his army regiment as a camp helper.

Soon the British invade -- and nothing goes as planned. Can Nate survive the war’s biggest battle yet?
