I grew up and now again live in Virginia so this one I had to read. I love this series and I want to read all of them. So much information I didn't know and given in such a way that kids will love reading about the subject. Although I kept saying throughout the book "I thought it happened another way". For example, I thought John Smith was going to have his head chopped off but in this book it says that he was going to be beaten to death by tribe members with clubs. Well, that's a great way to get other books and find out what really happened. Plus I was lucky enough to live nearby to Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg so I got to walk on the same ground and go onto the replicas of the ships.

Lots of gory bits in this one! The kids were actually a little grossed out by some of the lengths the colonists had to go to to survive famine. But overall another good book in this series.
