Mad Boy is a rollicking, picaresque novel about family and perseverance set during America's forgotten war of 1812.Young Henry Phipps is on a quest to realize his dying mother's last wish: to be buried at sea, surrounded by her family. But Henry's stubborn determination knows no bounds. Not an easy task considering Henry's ne'er-do-well father is in debtor's prison and his comically earnest older brother is busy fighting the red coats on the battlefields of Maryland.
Mad Boy is at once an antic adventure and a thoroughly convincing work of historical fiction that recreates a young nation's first truly international conflict and a key moment in the history As he dodges the cannon fire of clashing armies and picks among the ruins of a burning capital he meets looters, British defectors, renegade slaves, a pregnant maiden in distress, and scoundrels of all types.
