Customer Reviews

This is a great book!

Here is what our 11 year old son said about this book. "I definetly reccomend this book. It is very realistic, historacly accurate, and full of excitement! When you read this book you will feel like you are a character from the story. You will smell the salt air as The english settelers sail out over the ocean, You will feel the tension as John is about to be executed by indians, and you will see entire cities go up in flames. If you read this book you will not be sorry!"
