Summer may contain relaxed schoolwork or it may be a time of carefree freedom, but regardless of schedules and intentions, there is never a better time to catch up on reading. Languid breezes and dazzling sunshine bring forth our tendencies to cut back distractions and focus instead on well-crafted chapters, award winning artwork and the joys of reading together as a family. On an unknown beach, at a lake house or in your own backyard, these carefully selected classics will provide children of any age with stirring adventure, creative imagery and fresh perspectives.

Sarah Smythe has lived in Holland her entire life. But that's about to change. Her parents are taking her and her brother, John, on a journey to America--the New World--with plans to stay permanently.

Sarah must leave behind the town, the home, and the friends she loves, for an uncertain and dangerous new life across the ocean. What does her future in America hold? How will she adjust to life with the other Pilgrims? Will God bring their ship, the Mayflower, across the Atlantic?

Let the Sisters in Time series take you back to 1770--where you may find that Lydia Lankford isn't that much different than you! Recommended for ages 8 to 12.

This story is based on (and very similar to) The Mayflower Adventure from the American Adventure Series.
