Thirteen-year-old Jonathan has longed to go to war against the hated British, and one morning,
April 3, 1778, he gets his chance. Joining a small band of of American soldiers he skirmishes with Hessians near Rocktown, New Jersey, and is captured. What is superb is the control.
The story takes place in one day, detailed minute by minute. Readers hear the Hessians as Jonathan
does, only speaking German, frightening and disorienting. All this makes the war personal and
immediate: not history or event, but experience; near and within oneself. A small stunner.
A million dollar bounty, underground assassins, torture-it's all in a days work for assassin Jessie Wright.
