Book description
Plots, shots, flight, pursuit -- all are part of this story from the
exciting chapter in America's history when thousands of Loyalists fled
to Canada to evade the vengeance of the American Revolutionaries.
Twelve-year-old Ned Seaman tells this lively tale of his family's
perilous journey. Escape may be fiction, but Martha and Caleb Seaman
and their children actually existed.
"A straight-forward adventure story--exciting and fairly easy
reading for eight to fourteen year olds."
