Jump Ship to Freedom [EPUB ebook]

Even if Daniel can manage to jump ship in New York, will he be able to travel the long and dangerous road to freedom?The second book in the Arabus family saga finds young Daniel trying to retrieve the notes that ensure his and his mother’s freedom, until he is forced aboard a boat and headed for certain slavery in the West Indies.
