Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Roanoke

The lost colony of Roanoke is one of America's oldest and most intriguing historical mysteries.

The lost colony of Roanoke is America's birthplace and one of America's oldest mysteries. What makes this book unique is that every clue furnished by primary documents is treated as evidence. It answers the three questions essential to solving the mystery: Why were the lost colonists lost? Where did the lost colonists go? Why were the lost colonists never recovered?

The answers come from the clues the colonists themselves left and are startling:
* The colonists were not lost because of bad luck or a shortage of food, but because they were sabotaged! (cont.)

This review is from: Mystery Of The Lost Colony (Roanoke) (Hardcover)

Lee Miller's ROANOKE: THE MYSTERY OF THE LOST COLONY is a wonderful pick for either leisure readers or libraries strong in early American history for grades 2-4. Every clue about the circumstances of this real 'lost colony' is furnished by primary documents that invite the reader to turn detective to solve the mysteries. The answers to this age-old question are all spelled out by the clues and in conclusions, and kids will find the approach and facts intriguing.

The book came well within the needed time. I ordered it for a friend who especially wanted it. This was a quite satisfactory process. These long,involved reviews are not.
