Peter is 12 when he is orphaned. Taken in by a strict Quaker family, Peter chafes at his stifling new life. Capturing run-away indentured servants could bring a reward, and his freedom. But freedom is never free, even in 1768 America. Avi loved these characters so much he wrote a sequel, Encounter at Easton so he could find out what happened!
