A quest for truth. What is his fate?
Annotation
There was something different about him. He had no name. He showed no emotion, never yielded. And Griff had always stood by him. Even in this place where cruelty and betrayals were the way of life. So when he decides to escape, he takes Griff with him. Their journey has no known destination, and no purpose except to make their way through life's chances.

Continuing the sequence begun with Jackaroo and On Fortune's Wheel, Voigt tells of two boys who embark on a series of fantastical adventures; citing the author's ``gift for storytelling and the effortless beauty of her prose,'' PW's starred review added, ``Each section of this novel is riveting, mined with powerful surprises.'' Ages 12-up. (June)
Their journey has no known destination; no purpose except to make their way through life's chances. And when they do finally find an ending place, they find also the same treachery and envy they thought they'ed left behind...
"A wonderful, terrible, epic tale of heroism and cowardice, loyalty and betrayal, love and loss, joy and tragedy...Hopefully there will be further sequels added to this fascinating saga."- School Library Journal
