(4) K-3 Set in 1616, this book tells the story of a boy and his father who become involved with a thief on their voyage from England to Jamestown, Virginia. A morally black-and- white tale, the story has a smug tone, although the illustrations successfully convey the historical background. An endnote on Jamestown and some of its early settlers is included.
Reviewer: Jim St. Claire
