- Abstract
- In 1774, thirteen-year-old Noah, intent on avenging his father's death, becomes a spy for the British and witnesses firsthand the power of partisan rumor and the hypocrisy of men who demand freedom while enslaving others, forcing him to determine his own understanding of right and wrong and where his loyalty truly lies.When his father is killed by rebel vigilantes, Noah flees with his family to Boston. Intent on avenging his father, Noah becomes a spy for the British and firsthand witness to the power of partisan rumor to distort facts, the hypocrisy of men who demand freedom while enslaving others, and the human connections that bind people together regardless of stated allegiances. Awash in contradictory information and participating in key events leading to the American Revolution, Noah must forge his own understanding of right and wrong and determine for himself where his loyalty truly lies. -- adapted from back cover.
