pickAs a class they loved the book. We discussed how the ending did not go exactly as we expected but we loved that the family was reunited. (Spoiler)
I‘m currently reading this to our P 4 class. It fits into Social Studies (the discovery of Bermuda) and Language (reading and writing Historical Fiction). They are so into it! I told them I might not be able to read to them and they got so upset! So now I have started something. I can see I am going to be reading to them until June.
pickThis history of Jamestown was ultimately an interesting if uneven book. There were some parts in the middle that dragged on and made me fall asleep in less than 15 minutes, but the story picked up near the end. Most Jamestown lore focuses on Capt. John Smith and Pocahontas, but there‘s a lot more to know. I like this time in history when religious and cultural norms were in flux. And any book that features James I earns points from me! 😉👑
pickI really enjoyed this book; it is the first I‘ve read by this author. Selah was so independent yet always willing to help others. The give and take between Selah and Xander was a delight. I liked getting a glimpse of early colony days. The story moved along very quickly and smoothly. I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Frantz‘s books.
I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.
pickWhat an incredible historical romance! Laura Frantz is a masterful storyteller, weaving history and fiction into a touchable and absorbing world that captivates, enraptures, and inspires. There is sweet and slowly building romance, shocking betrayal and twists in the plot, deeply layered characters who tug at the heart, and profound spiritual truths. I received the book from Revell. All comments are solely my own.
