"Caught! The Incredible True Story of Thomas Pellow" by Craig Green recounts the harrowing adventures of Thomas Pellow, an English boy who, in the early 18th century, is captured by Moroccan pirates. Taken to Morocco, he faces the trials of slavery while navigating the complexities of a foreign land and culture. Over the years, Pellow endures hardships and strives to survive. His remarkable resilience and determination ultimately lead him on a journey for freedom. This true narrative not only highlights the brutality of that era but also celebrates the human spirit's capacity to endure and triumph against incredible odds.
