Bookroo's summary

Eleven-year-old Nathaniel Fox escapes his harsh uncle's wrath, only to be thrust into the chaos of the Revolutionary War. As British forces close in, Nate must navigate the perilous streets of New York City, facing the biggest battle yet. Can he survive the blood-soaked battlefield and find his place in a world at war? With danger at every turn, Nate's journey is one of courage and survival against overwhelming odds.

From the publisher

British soldiers were everywhere. There was no escape. Nathaniel Fox never imagined he’d find himself in the middle of a blood-soaked battlefield, fighting for his life. He was only eleven years old! He’d barely paid attention to the troubles between America and England. How could he, while being worked to the bone by his cruel uncle, Uriah Storch? But when his uncle’s rage forces him to flee the only home he knows, Nate is suddenly propelled toward a thrilling and dangerous journey into the heart of the Revolutionary War. He finds himself in New York City on the brink of what will be the biggest battle yet.
