Book Description
Exiled from Ireland as a terrorist, Declan is sent to live with family in Canada. All he wants, though, is to return to the fight.
From the Back Cover
Thirteen-year-old Declan lives only for revenge. His mother, father and sister were all killed on the streets of Belfast, and Declan will stop at nothing to settle the score. When he is torn away from his native soil and sent to live with relatives in Canada, he is disgusted by their efforts to welcome him into their lives and determined to make them regret their hospitality. Can he devise a plan to return to Ireland and rejoin his cause? Or will the strange beauty of his new life and surroundings weaken his resolve? James Heneghan is the bestselling author of Flood and The Grave. "'They handcuffed him to the seat so he could cause no trouble on the airplane.' No further booktalk needed. The title, the cover and the dramatic opening scenes will grab readers." -Booklist
