In the early 1600s, the Pilgrims, led by William Brewster, spent several years in Leiden, Holland, where a quirky boy named Rembrandt van Rijn lived. Brewster and Rembrandt aren't really connected to one another in this historical novel, but both figure prominently in the life of its twelve-year-old fictional heroine, orphan Lizzy Tinker. This coming-of-age tale is a deftly woven mix of adventure, youthful ingenuity, and overcoming odds.
