A fun historical book for kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
All of Turkle's Obadiah books are great for 6-10 year olds. Rachel and Obadiah, in particular is entertaining because it draws the reader into a historical time and place which might otherwise be boring to kids of that age. The story of the competition between Rachel and Obadiah to bring the news of the approaching ships is a theme that kids and adults alike will understand and enjoy. Turkle's Obadiah books bring life and fun to the streets of colonial Nantucket and to its seafaring and Puritan cultures. I loved it as a child and I still do.
