The year is 2057. End-less wars have torn the USA apart and enslaved Americans to the evil CCP, the Confederation of Consolidated Republics. Growing up in wartime has made fourteen-year-old Cody Pierce wise in survival skills. Now he's The White Fox, rebel leader of the children's barracks in a CCR prison camp. Cody manages a terrifying escape and then plays cat and mouse with the CCR. Every day brings him closer to capture, but closer as well to his goal - to return and liberate the children he left behind."Paulsen has created a courageous hero who relies on his wits to survive, and whose take - charge approach and enviable skills will appeal to readers" - School Library Journal
