When Theodore Worth's parents hide the abolitionist John Brown overnight, Theodore is impressed by the man's courage. Brown wants to free the slaves- by any means necessary- and, in 1857, this makes him a wanted man. Two years later, Theodore runs away to join Brown and his men at Harper's Ferry. Brown has a daring plan that, if it works, could end slavery- and if it doesn't, may kill them all. Lightning Time's seam- less blend of history and action will rivet readers.
