2 Samuel is a thirteen year old boy living on the frontier of Pennsylvania in 1776. Samuel grew up in the woods while his parents were raised in eastern cities. He lives with his parents in a settlement of small cabins. But when war strikes Samuel’s home, the whole settlement is destroyed. He realizes his parents were captured and sets off to find them. Can his knowledge of the woods help him find his parents? Will he survive? Will he rescue his parents? Read Woods Runner to find out.
