Escape – Adventures of a Loyalist Family

Plots, shots, flight, pursuit – all are part of the adventure of this story from the exciting chapter in America’s history when thousands of Loyalists were compelled to flee to Canada to evade the vengeance of the American Revolutionaries.  Twelve-year-old Ned Seaman tells this lively tale of his family’s perilous journey.

Escape is fiction, but Martha and Caleb Seaman and their children did exist and they did escape to Canada after the American Revolution.

If you’re looking for a good Canadian book for ten-to-twelve year olds, Escape is perfect.
