Chickens are disappearing from the coop at night.

Ben is beginning to accept his mum's love for Saul.

Sarah and Saul keep watch together at night to catch the chicken thief, and when it comes, it's not a fox - it's a boy - a half starved boy from the Wampanoag village.

Saul and Ben decide to take him home, but when they arrive the village has been destroyed by "white mans disease" - and Saul's past begins to catch up with him.

Adrian Bean's gripping story about one family's journey into the unknown.

Made to mark the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower.
