Roanoke The Lost Colony An Unsolved Mystery From History

A great true life mystery

This is a wonderful book for children ages 7 - 12. The historical information is presented in an organized way that captivates one's imagination. The illustrations keep a child's interest and the notebook pages help the reader try to solve the mystery.
