The Runaway's Revenge (Trailblazer Books)

The Runaway's Revenge (Trailblazer Books)

Introducing John Newton

Thirteen-year-old slave Hamilton Jones seizes his freedom when his cruel master dies on a trip to England in 1775. Driven by a desire for revenge after years of mistreatment, the boy hunts down former slave trader John Newtonâ€”the man responsible for bringing Hamiltonâ€™s mother to the United States. Hamilton wants only one thing: to make the man pay with his life for his evil crime!

But the John Newton that Hamilton meets is nothing like the horrible person he imagined. Instead of reacting with fear when threatened with death, the little man seems calm and unafraid. Newton even agrees he deserves to dieâ€”and claims to be something worse than a slave trader! Astonished, Hamilton stays to listen to the preacherâ€™s story. What could be worse than being a slave trader?

Hamilton sees his chance for revenge . . . but will he go thorough with it?

An adventure story, ideal for readers 8-12 years of age.
