The I Escaped Series: The World's Favorite New Escapes. Survival Stories For Today's Generation

In this stellar, impactful book, two brothers face the challenges of deportation to Australia in the 1800's. A Notable Children's Release from bestselling authors Juliet Fry and Scott Peters.

In 1836, Thomas and his younger brother Jem are unjustly accused of theft in the bustling streets of London. Their punishment is harsh: exile to a distant boys' prison in Australia. They face a daunting sea voyage before reaching their new home. Along the way, Jem falls ill and becomes a target for bullies, prompting Thomas to step up as his guardian. Once at the prison, surrounded by the vast ocean and untamed Australian bushland, the brothers dream of escape. Despite the perils of sharks and the unfamiliar wilderness, Thomas's resolve to protect Jem and find a way back to England never wavers. On the run, they must escape detection, which sets the stage for a dramatic escape.

In the 1800's, many of England's poor were exiled to prison colonies in Australia, marking a devastating chapter in British history. This story captures the resilience and courage of those who lived through this challenging time.
