About This Book
Maura O'Connell, 15, and her brother, Patrick, 12, escape Ireland's brutal poverty with only the belongings in their bundles and tickets for ocean passage. Sir Laurence Kirkle, 11, flees a life of privilege to seek justice. When fate brings them together, the three join forces in a daring scheme that may lead to freedom and glory...or dire consequences.About the Authors or Illustrators
