    An amazing true story of a young sailor during the American Revolution, for readers of all ages. 
    The Revolutionary War is raging, and 12-year-old Christopher Hawkins runs away to follow his dream of being a sailor and a patriot. During his first sea adventure, the British capture his ship. Quick-witted Christopher escapes at his first opportunity. 
    At 17, Christopher joins another American privateer ship but is soon captured by the British. This time, he is delivered to the notorious British ship HMS Jersey, the war's deadliest prison. Armed with only courage, cunning, and a sense of humor, Christopher Hawkins will face death unless he can escape from his British captors twice more. 
    This novel and tale of survival is adapted and expanded from author Becijos' great-great-great-great-grandfather's memoir. 
    EDITORIAL REVIEWS 
    CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS AND HIS DARING ESCAPES is a story of grit, determination, courage, and the indomitable will to survive. Jeanne Brownlee Becijos draws upon the experiences of her great-great-great-great grandfather to tell an absorbing tale about a young man's quest to fight for his country's freedom. Set in the latter half of the 18th century, Becijos's story brilliantly captures the prevailing mood of the ordinary folk of that era and crafts an immersive setting with realistic characters and a world that feels lived in.    
    Readers' Favorite, 5-star Review 
    This novelization is at turns harrowing and funny as its cycles of capture-and-escape gets twistier and ever-more surprising. 
    Publishers Weekly, BookLife Editor's Pick 
    The narrative is written in first person, paying homage to the original memoir it was inspired by; this diary-like format allows readers to truly experience the story as if it were happening to them.  Kirkus Reviews

    GLASS SLIPPERS MEET COMBAT BOOTSJoin the kids and siblings of fairytale characters in the magical world of “Book,” where citizens train to be the next generation of main characters in stories. In this nine-book series, Cinderella’s daughter and friends challenge their realm’s “Author” and powerful villains across epic worlds to write their own destinies. Sassiness, action-adventure, and plot twists abound!ABOUT BOOK ONE:I was going to be a great protagonist. At least that’s what my mom, Cinderella, kept telling me. I, however, had my doubts.Unlike most main characters at Lady Agnue’s School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, I was opinionated, bold, and headstrong. Moreover, for a princess, I had a lot of issues. I’m talking vicious nightmares about people I’ve never met, a total stalker prince, and a Fairy Godmother for an enemy.But I digress. Because here’s the thing about living in an enchanted realm of fairytale characters, crazy junk you never planned on happens all the time. One minute you could be practicing fainting exercises in Damsels in Distress class, sword fighting in a field, or flying on a Pegasus, and the next, BAM! Your book has begun and you’re saddled with a prophecy that changes everything.I still don’t know if I will be a great protagonist one day. But I do know one thing about my fate, for certain. Despite what The Author and the antagonists have in store for me, whatever it costs . . . I’ll be the one taking charge of my own story.READERS LOVE CRISANTA KNIGHT:“Crisanta Knight: Protagonist Bound is an outstanding book the writing, pace and premise are very well done the story keeps you turning the page in anticipation of what will happen next.” - Books in Brogan“There is so much intrigue sprinkled throughout the book that has the reader wanting to know more! The author does an amazing job at setting up the series in this book along with seamlessly tying parts of this book into later books. A must read!” - Amazon“Tween Gold - Should be a movie series. If you read this book, you will see that not only is it EASILY as good as anything Rowling delivered, but offers more realistic inner dialogue and better imagery (more visceral, less whimsy).” - BookBub“I loved this book, mainly because it was so much fun, but also because it was well written, richly developed, and exciting. Fans of reading and fantasy, particularly those with a fondness in their hearts for fairy tale princesses, will likely enjoy this book. The youthful tone will likely appeal to both young adults and the young at heart.” - NetGalley

    This short, but brief information expounding on  "Homelessness, Human Rights and Immigration in the United States of America is described today. Often refers to the United States of America as "a country of immigrants." During the last four centuries, people have traveled great distances to reach the United States to escape war, avoid political persecution, and find the freedom to practice their faith. Still, others came for the possibility of acquiring their own property or just for the prospect of finding a job and elevating themselves out of poverty. And immigrants continue to arrive. However, the lives of immigrants and refugees who have just arrived in the United States may be fraught with difficulty, particularly for those who have brought with them a limited amount of assets. The audiobook narration will also help you to learn that the United States Of America's Homelessness, Human Rights, and Immigration problems still exist even more today than in time past. The United States of America Homelessness and Immigration problem exceeds most international countries abroad.
