The Dear America series is a great learning tool. Yet another good book enjoyed by myself and my daughter alike.

Not sure how accurate this book is--Mem Whipple has some attitude problems.

"Land ahoy!"
The call from the crow's nest cracked the dawn. Hummy's and my eyes flew open...we all hurried out. Unable to belive the words, our eyes wide in the half-light of dawn. Several of us crowded against the rail. The sailors saw it first, the faint, dark line against the horizon...But within minutes of searching the horizon with our eyes, Hummy and I began to see the same.
We held each other's hands so tightly and almost dared not to breathe, but minute by minute, the line became firmer and began to thicken. 'Twas not a wisp of a dream but real. It has taken us all of sixty-five days, but finally we are here. This will be the New World and it doth fill my eyes for the first time
**** Disclaimer! The ISBN lists this book as a hardcover, but the book I'm posting is the paperback version. Same story, different format ****
