He was just a boy when he ran away to Africa. He never expected to change history.
Thirteen-year-old John Ross leaves behind everything he knows in Scotland, determined to earn money in Africa to pay for his mother's treatment. But the journey ahead is more dangerous than he could ever imagine. Shipwrecked. Hunted. Captured by Zulu warriors. John finds himself face-to-face with the mighty Shaka, ruler of a vast and feared kingdom.
But instead of death, John finds something unexpected-respect. He must learn a new language, navigate strange customs, and prove his courage again and again. Along the way, he builds friendships, changes hearts, and discovers who he truly is.
John Ross is a thrilling and emotional historical novel based on the incredible true story of a boy who crossed continents and cultures-and made history along the way.
