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.
