From Alan Gratz, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of such historical fiction blockbusters as Refugee and War Games, comes a riveting, action-packed take on one boy's experience during the American Revolution, as only Alan Gratz can tell it!

It's 1770, and revolution is brewing in Colonial America. When Silas McCoy and his brother get caught in the crossfire of the Boston Massacre, Silas winds up as the indentured servant of the Patriot doctor who saves his brother's life in the melee.

Five years later, it's 1775 and Silas can't wait to finish his servitude so he can join the Patriots in their imminent fight against England; he's waited years to get revenge for what the Redcoats did to his brother. When Silas unexpectedly joins Paul Revere on his midnight ride to the countryside, Silas is there to witness the opening salvo of the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord. But he can't join the fight--yet. First, Silas has to work behind the scenes to uncover who may be a spy for the Redcoats and is feeding them crucial Patriot secrets and endangering the revolution.

Cracking codes with the help of friends, crossing paths with the rebellion's most important figures, and ultimately picking up a musket during the Battle of Bunker Hill, Silas sees for himself the sacrifices revolution demands from its soldiers, and the price all must pay for freedom from kings.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz, this heart-pounding, action-packed story about the Revolutionary War, and the roots of America, is an ode to sacrifice, courage, and the importance of freedom...no matter the cost.
