Reviews
“The story flows well and is a good fictional introduction to Jamestown. Casale’s full-page pencil drawings nicely supplement the text. Maps aid in locating travel routes and Virginia sites mentioned, and an ‘Author’s Note’ helps to separate fact from fiction.” ―School Library Journal
“Recommended to readers who have enjoyed the Dear America and My America series.” ―VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)
“Well-written, well-researched… This story would be an excellent supplement when studying about the early settlers.” ―Book Report, STARRED REVIEW
“This is an excellent informative book which I have read to my class several years to prepare them for our field trip to historic Jamestown Settlement.” ―ACS Reader’s Haven
Awards
