Rebekah in Danger: Peril at Plymouth Colony (1621) (Sisters in Time #2) (Paperback)

by Colleen L. Reece (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Freezing weather, lack of food, and sickness make the first winter at Plymouth Colony a difficult and dangerous time. What would that winter be like for a ten-year-old girl? Find out in Rebekah in Danger, part of the Sisters in Time series. Written especially for eight- to twelve-year-old girls, this dramatic story shows how a seventeenth-century girl-not terribly different from girls of the twenty-first century-overcame some of the most challenging difficulties imaginable. Though the main character is fictional, the events and experiences are very real-providing an ideal vehicle for teaching American history and Christian faith.

But more difficulties await them. They have arrived just as winter is starting, and food supplies are low. They have to continue to live on the ship while their homes are built. Soon sickness breaks out, and Rebekah worries that someone from her own family will become ill. It will take all of Rebekah's faith and courage to bring her through the first harsh winter in the New World. Young readers who enjoy stories set in Colonial Times, or about the Pilgrims, will most likely enjoy this book. It is not a must-read in my opinion, but it should appeal to kids who have a special interest in this historical setting, and so I would recommend it to those readers. 4.0 out of 5 stars I would have liked to have read this book when I was younger!, June 1, 2008 By  Sylviastel - See all my reviews    Since I teach language arts, I had to change some of my reading habits to include young adult fiction. This book is about a Dutch girl and her family's first year in the promised land or the New World later known as America. Upon the Pilgrims first landing at Plymouth Rock, the author explains and details the hardships of Rebekah and her family which include her brother, Will, and her parents. The author writes about the long voyage from Holland to Massachusetts aboard the famous Mayflower ship. Rebekah is witness to death and hardship on a daily basis. The author writes about the religious convictions and persecution that occurred in their native countries. The author also writes about the tolerance that they seek in a foreign world. The author writes about the fears of the Native Indians who were here in America first and their strange customs. Apart, Rebekah and her family as well as other pilgrims fought to survive a harsh winter and weather conditions. This book might appeal to young female readers.
