The year is 1836 in dirty, crowded London. Thomas and his little brother Jem are unfairly accused and banished to a boy’s prison in Australia. Can they escape and find their way home?When Thomas and his little brother, Jem, are unfairly accused of petty theft, they’re afraid they’ll never see their mother again.

Together, they must survive a harsh journey by ship across the ocean to a remote island prison compound. Conditions are terrible and their overseers are mean. When Jem becomes ill and is threatened by bullies, Thomas must protect his little brother. Against all odds, he must find a way to get them both home.
