When revolution sweeps through Havana and nine-year-old Julian is sent to Miami without his parents as part of the secret "Operation Pedro Pan," he finds himself separated from his brothers and trapped in a refugee camp ruled by a ruthless bully. But when a daring friend with a battered boat hatches a plan to sail the treacherous 90 miles back to Cuba to rescue those left behind, Julian must find a courage he never knew he had. Inspired by the author's own real-life journey, this is a breathtaking story of bravery, brotherhood, and the true meaning of home.
