We all know how Pilgrims came across the Atlantic on the Mayflower to find religious freedom in the New World, but we have never experienced the trip like this... I throughly enjoyed reading this fictional account of the historic journey and recommend it to young and old alike.

Great read and very interesting! Great for all ages. True story that dives into what people went through as far as hardships and joys coming over on the Mayflower.

I really liked this book. I am not a teenager by a long shot, but I love history. Diane Stone has done a masterful job of explaining the Mayflower journey and the Plymouth venture through the eyes of a real Pilgrim teenager...It is this authentic sense of connection with history, and explanation of so many details, which makes the book excellent. A great book!

This well researched/written story takes the reader along with Mary Chilton and her family as they make perilous, consequential decisions and journeys... We have read this book with our children - it is a good read for all ages - an open window to a chapter in the history of America!
