A wonderful American Sisters book!

This book was almost as good as the first American Sisters book, WEST ALONG THE WAGON ROAD, and was even better than the wonderful A TITANIC JOURNEY ACROSS THE SEA. This book tells of the Garrett family: ten year old Hannah, her twelve year old sister Abigail, and their father and stepmother, and the voyage they make from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 to escape religious persecution. This was an exciting, historically accurate story of the hardships and dangers people braved to colonize the New World in the 17th century. I can't wait to read the next two books in this series, ADVENTURE ON THE WILDERNESS ROAD and CROSSING THE COLORADO ROCKIES. Congratulations to Laurie Lawlor for the great job she did on this series. Fans of Dear America and American Diaries are sure to love American Sisters.
