This fun and interesting, interactive series will enthrall young readers by making them a part of the story. Readers will become the main character and can revel in the gory, dark, horrific side of life throughout important moments in history. Humorous "Handy Hints" that relate directly to the text are provided on each spread. You (the reader) are an English gentleman eager to join a group of settlers planning to start a new colony in the New World. You have heard the tales of previous expeditions and want to get your hands on some of the fabled riches that are found there. As a member of the colony, you will get an insider's look at the history behind some of the previous expeditions, what you pack for the long journey across the Atlantic, how the first few years at Jamestown were difficult because no one knew how to farm, and how the colonists interacted with the native Algonquians. After reading this book there will be no doubt in your mind that this is definitely a settlement you'd rather not start.

This series is really great for kids learning about Ancient times. These are great for 3rd-5th graders. My kids really liked the way it is written and the funny pictures. I find they are a great way to review history.
We used this book as part of our homeschool curriculum of Biblioplan. I love, love, love these books. MY son is always engaged with them and he enjoys the fast pace and bright pictures. LOts of great information!
I've used this book to teaching ancient Mesopotamia to 8 year olds. Yes, that young. The pictures show every day life in several aspects -- the river as Life, mud bricks, family life, religious life, the wars, the temples. And it's really funny. ;) You think your parents abuse you? Why don't I sell you into slavery to pay off a lawsuit? Huh?!
