The Starving Time: Elizabeth's Diary, Book Two

110 pp. | Scholastic | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-19998-8 $$8.95
(3) 1-3 My America series. This sequel to Our Strange New Land is well written and easy to read. The diary continues the story of nine-year-old Elizabeth Barker, who has stayed with her family in Jamestown, Virginia, while Captain Smith returns to England for provisions. The struggles they face--cold, starvation, disease--are clearly described as Elizabeth tells her story. A historical note illustrated with archival drawings is appended.
