Fredrick Penn and the Unexpected Opportunity - Hardcover

by Kevin Lute (Author)

Fredrick Penn is used to running away. Usually, he's running from Luther, the school bully who has made his life in the American Imperial Colonies miserable. But when a mysterious officer from the Royal Imperial Guard recruits Fredrick for a prestigious military academy, Fredrick thinks he is finally running toward something great. He is wrong. Midway across the continent, Fredrick's luxury airship is hijacked by sky pirates. Faced with a choice between captivity or the crew, Fredrick and his friend Magnolia make a shocking decision: they join the pirates. But the skies are crowded with enemies. When a rival pirate captain kidnaps Luther, Fredrick's new life is thrown into chaos. Now, to prove he isn't the coward Luther always said he was, Fredrick must infiltrate a slave auction on the lawless island of Alcatraz. His mission? To rescue the very boy who tormented him.
