good series finale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is the 3rd in a series my daughter has enjoyed reading. I have read them also, and they seem to be well founded historical fiction appropriate for 8-10 year old children.
Happy Ending
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I read these books to my children and this is the third and last of the series about Jamestown. We enjoyed the humor, sorrow, and frank examples of what life was like for these early settlers. Elizabeth became a real person and we were able to experience her struggles and triumphs as she grew during those first raw years here in America.
The wonderful conclusion to Elizabeth's story.

Ten-year-old Elizabeth Barker has been learning to live without her mother, who died during a terrible time of disease and starvation in Jamestown Colony. But now, in the summer of 1610, things are beginning to improve. Elizabeth's twin brother, Caleb, has finally arrived in Jamestown to rejoin the family. But Elizabeth worries that her father wishes to remarry, and that he will choose sour Mistress Whistler. Elizabeth is grateful to Mistress Whistler for nursing her baby sister, Abigail, after their mother died. But she doesn't want the woman, who is rarely nice to her, as her new mother. To make matters worse, the colony's new governor is imposing strict, terrible new laws. It will take all of Elizabeth's spirit and bravery to bring her through these new challenges and help her face the changes in her life. I highly recommend this book to readers who have read Elizabeth's first two diaries in the My America series, and to young readers who enjoy reading historical fiction.
