Description
See the world through the eyes of Samuel Collier, an orphan headed for life in the alleys of London, when he is offered the life-altering opportunity to become the page of Captain John Smith, who is on his way to the New World. Once ashore, the settlers soon find out how unwelcoming the New World can be, and Samuel realizes that they must quickly adapt if they want to survive the first year. Although initially daunting, this need to part with the old way of life means that Samuel can be whoever he wants to be in this new land. Each chapter begins with a historical excerpt, while the present tense of the narrative keeps the reader involved in every exciting moment. 218 pages, paperback. Rachel

So when he becomes the page of Captain John Smith and boards the ship the Susan Constant, bound for the New World, he can't believe his good fortune. He's heard that gold washes ashore with every tide. But beginning with the stormy journey and his first contact with the native people, he realizes that the New World is nothing like he had ever imagined.The lush Virginia shore where they establish the colony of James Town is both beautiful and forbidding, and it's hard to know who's a friend or foe. As he learns the language of the Algonquin Indians and observes Captain Smith's wise diplomacy, Samuel begins to see that he can be whomever he wants to be in this new land.
