Karwoski, Gail Langer. Surviving Jamestown

Karwoski, Gail Langer. Surviving Jamestown. Peachtree, 2001 [1-56145-245-9]
This is historical fiction following James Collier who is a page to John Smith. The reader follows the trials and tribulations of the crossing to American, the hardships in the new colony, the clash of classes and personalities, and the shaky relationships with the native Americans. Not only is this 193 page book good story-telling but the reader learns a great deal of the Jamestown settlement and what it must have been like to be a colonist. If you school studies this period, this book is a must.
