In 1852 Newburyport, Massachusetts, twelve-year-old Raymond has saltwater in his veins and seizes a chance to join the crew of his Uncle Thad's ship. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, eleven-year-old Ogun and his mother, escaped slaves, are making the harrowing trip to freedom. The stories of the two boys intersect in this well-written, action-packed story of family and freedom.
