Flight

by Connie Brummel Crook

George Waltermyer is left behind to care for the family farm while his mother and six brothers and sisters go to New York to find their father, Hans Waltermyer. He has been leading dangerous missions for the British as the American Revolutionary War heats up.
But George decides he just can’t let them go alone, and so he heads through the wilderness, crossing enemy lines, in search of his family.
Flight is the story of one United Empire Loyalist family’s harrowing escape from enemy forces, to a new life in Canada.
