Description
Set against the backdrop of the War of 1812, Mad Boy is an unforgettable account of Henry Phipps' quest to fulfill his mother's final wish. With his father in debtors' prison and his brother fighting on the battlefields of Maryland, Henry must navigate a treacherous landscape of looters, British defectors, and renegade slaves.
This thrilling adventure is also a deeply moving coming-of-age story, as Henry dodges cannon fire and forges unexpected alliances amidst the ruins of a burning capital. With its nonstop action, genuine pathos, and vivid humor, Mad Boy brings to life a pivotal moment in American history and the struggle for emancipation.
