(3) K-3 Indentured to Master Carver, young John Howland embarks on the Mayflower bound for the New World. Accompanied by realistic watercolor and gouache paintings, a sophisticated, lengthy first-person narration of storms, sickness, and the difficult first winter gives a thorough, non-sensational retelling of the historic record, including a respectful account of interactions with Squanto and Massasoit, and somber but brief mentions of colonists who died. Bib.
