Pocahontas and the Strangers

Please enjoy another guest post by Nathanael K.:

Pocahontas and the Strangers was written by Clyde Robert Bulla.  This book was about Pocahontas and the pale-faces (the English men and women).Then some of the Indians stole Captain John Smith. The other Indians in her tribe wanted to kill him, but Pocahontas asked her father if she could marry him. Years later she got captured by the English. They let her free and she went to England with John Rolfe (her husband) and Thomas/Little Nantaquas.

Pocahontas is my favorite character because she is the main one.  She is adventurous and she loves nature. 

I liked this book because it was really exciting, and you can’t predict what is going to happen next.

I think you should read this book because it has a lot of boys and girls in it.

 

A Lion to Guard Us

               A Lion to Guard Us was written by Clyde Robert Bulla and was illustrated by Michele Chessare. It was published in 1981. You can get this book at the Brookfield Public Library. It is a fiction book.
               A Lion to Guard Us is about three children: Amanda, Jemmy, and Meg. Amanda, the oldest, is to young to be worked as hard as a grown-up. Then she loses her job. The three children have to get to the New World. They find a ship to take them there. They have to get to their father in the Virginia. Jemmy has a brass door-knocker,( or, otherwise called a knock-knock), in his pocket that their father gave Amanda, Jemmy, and Meg to protect them. Will it really do that?
               My favorite part in A Lion to Guard Us is when Amanda, Jemmy, Meg, and the rest of the people on the ship are stranded on an island. Then, when it is almost time to leave, Jemmy and the knocker become lost. How did the knocker become lost? Why did Jemmy go off when it was almost time to go? Will either of them return? Find out in this book, A Lion to Guard Us.

The Cay

     The Cay, pronounced "key", was written by Theodore Taylor. It has no illustrations. It was copyrighted in 1969 by the author. You can get this book at the Brookfield Public Library.
      The Cay is about a caucasian boy named Phillip stranded on an island with an African American man named Timothy. Phillip doesn't really like Timothy until he becomes blind from a crack on the head. Then their friendship begins. This book tells about the adventures Phillip has while he is on the island.   
       My favorite part of  The Cay is the end of the book when Phillip is rescued from the island. He goes home and is rushed to the hospital, even though the doctor on the ship he was rescued on said he was perfectly healthy. But, after many X-rays and tests, Phillip could see again. He would have to wear glasses, but he could see.
