"It's 1776, and they're back. The king's redcoats have landed on Staten Island. The harbor is so full of British frigates it looks as if all London must be afloat. The breathtaking spectacle has shaken the resolve of some, the victories at Boston a distant memory now as we prepare to confront the full weight of the king's fury. Henry, my beloved adopted father, has joined the Continentals, but he won't be fighting alone. We're a family, and families fight together. No matter what challenges lay ahead, we will endure them together, and perhaps, if we endure, so will freedom... Join the Young siblings for another year of survival and war adventures as they leave behind the comforts of their new home and follow the Continental Army in their fight for freedom."--Page 4 of cover.
