The Mayflower Adventure

Sarah's New World

Book one in: American Dream: The New World, Colonial Times, and Hints of Revolution

I'm reading this series with my 9 & 11 y.o. They are consistently decent. ;) I have this historical series on our shelves along with the Dear America/My Name Is America series to have for extra topical free reading in our history studies.

Although it says "Sisters in Time" this definitely is a book that that would appeal to both boys and girls. John and his sister Sarah board the Mayflower. Their adventure starts in Holland and ends as the Mayflower reaches the New World. The author was good about including the good, the bad and the ugly and doesn't sugar coat. 

There is an underlying Christian theme throughout this book, but its not over the top. Great book to go along with the study of Pilgrims.
