Kidnapped from London streets in 1627, thirteen-year-old Rob becomes an indentured servant in Virginia. He labors beside another captive, a Pamunkey Indian girl; their escape plans become more complicated when a kind carpenter offers to buy Rob's indenture. Though the plot resolution is a bit too smooth and some characters slightly stereotyped, this story is deftly told with accurate details.
