Publisher's Notes
‘A favorite author uses an actual incident from 1609 to base a story of three impoverished children left alone in London who make their way to the Virginia colony in search of their father. . . . Fine engrossing historical fiction.’ —TE. Notable 1981 Children’s Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)
