This social studies teacher wishes to recommend all the Lyon Saga books. I started with the first, The Lyon's Roar, and am now finished with the fourth, The Lyon's Throne. The books are fast-paced and exciting, very motivating to my students. It's a great way to learn about history.
This book is the greatest!

These books can't come out fast enough for me. I love the story! Jess is captured by pirates and returned to England. Queen Elizabeth won't release her or her friends. She must find a way to return to Croatoan Island. M. L. Stainer is a great author and keeps you always wondering what's going to happen next. I recommend this book and the series to everyone.
Another great book in the series.
