Paperback: $8.99
In 1787, everything changes for 13-year-old Jake Cooper. He’s angry when he learns his home in New Jersey has been seized by the government because his family supported the King during the American Revolution. His mother tells him that he and his 17-year-old brother must leave for the British Colonies and build a new home. They trek for months through dense forests, crossing dangerous rivers and encountering wild animals. Efforts to build a homestead are hampered by tornadoes, drought, illness, and back-breaking work. Jake must grow up fast when it seems he may lose his brother to typhoid. Will everything be completed before his mother and sister are forced to leave their home?
