Publisher Description
The award-winning MISSION US "For Crown or Colony?" is available for the first time on iPad! With new content, characters, designs, and features including badges.
The year is 1770. You are 14-year-old Nathaniel Wheeler. You’ve just left your family farm to become a printer’s apprentice in Boston. As you make your way in the city, you meet all kinds of people with different viewpoints, from Redcoats and Loyalist merchants to poets, apprentices, and Sons of Liberty –not to mention Constance Lillie, the charming young niece of a Loyalist merchant. When tensions between soldiers and citizens erupt in the Boston Massacre, you must decide where your allegiance lies. Are you with the Patriots, or are you loyal to the Crown? And will you help Constance find her lost dog?
