Title: Historical Balderdash!
Review: My grandchild & I read this book last spring as part of our homeschool studies of early European immigration to North America. Liv loved it - until we researched the REAL girls that came on the Mayflower. Remember was on the boat - but she was 6, not 12! Her "best friend" according to this book also came over on the Mayflower - as a babe in arms!There is a wealth of information available about many of the people that came over on the Mayflower, including the girls that really were 12, 13 and 14. We wrote our own historically accurate "Mayflower Diary" of a real 12 year old Pilgrim girl.NOTE also: Liv did not notice that the language used and topics of conversation in much of this book were extremely inaccurate for the period, but I did. All in all, a huge disappointment. The only book that we have found to be worse is the "Magic Treehouse" version.
