The Gentleman Outlaw and Me -- Eli

Desperate to escape cruel relatives who've made her a servant and a scapegoat since her mother died, twelve-year-old Eliza Yates goes on the run. Disguised as a boy named Eli, she comes across a young man named Calvin Featherbone—a charming con-man who calls himself "The Gentleman Outlaw."

Eliza sees places no decent girl would ever set eyes on. For a girl who has never tasted freedom, this boy's life is the happiest time ever. Eli knows she'll never forget Calvin or their crazy adventures—including the shocking surprise that awaits them at the end of their journey...and that is the beginning of a whole new life.
