Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-4-Each of these brief introductions includes information on the history of the colony, the colonists, and the Native Americans who lived in the area. The authors discuss the buildings, clothing, and economics as well. Each two-page chapter is illustrated with an average-quality, generally unattributed reproduction. Some of the pictures provide additional information, such as the map drawn by Thomas Hariot, a scientist and member of the first Roanoke colony. Georgia includes material on the governing of the colony and the reasons for its founding. Roanoke may confuse some readers since the author describes how the colonists lived after mentioning that the site had been found abandoned. The writing in both is somewhat dry. The books include information similar to that found in "The Library of the Thirteen Colonies and the Lost Colony" series (Rosen/PowerKids, 2000) although they have a bit more detail.
