6PACK. Fifteen-year-old James Forten is proud to be fighting to free the American colonies from British rule. He's also proud to be a free African American. In 1781, near the war's end, the British capture the American ship on which he's serving. White prisoners are often exchanged between the two navies. But not black prisoners. Will James find himself enslaved? Will he survive the ordeal of being a prisoner?
