5.0 out of 5 stars Another homerun for the Dear America serries, 17 Aug 1999

By A Customer

I enjoyed this book a great deal. While I knew it was a work of fiction I found that its very well done. I'm 15 yrs old but I felt that it was written so that people could have an understanding what the people on the Mayflower went through, and not in some dusty old history book that doesn't give you a child's view of it. I also like that it was fake because Kathryn Lasky could write in what she wanted and felt she needed to make readers understand Mem. And if you look inside the third page has by written on it. And Kathryn Lasky is obviously not Mem, differant names. While if you look on Anne Frank's diary(a real one) it just says "translated by". Or at least my copy does. But because some people can't take little things into notice they should write "A WORK OF HISTORICAL FICTION" in big letters somewhere in the book!

A Kid's Review

remember patience whipple is a pilgrim travelling to america on the ship mayflower,to escape king james in england and his popes. she describes the 65 day journey and the first year in the new world.

I really enjoyed this book, since it was made up, you could imagine mem how you want to. I thought it was a little hard to get into a first, I espiecially liked the bot were here mem dies and were she meets the red indian and... I fact I liked all of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I've loved all of them!, 9 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Every single Dear America book I've come I've loved, and this one is no different. Though perhaps a little slow-moving at times, I really recommend it, and all other books of it's serie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Real
I think this book is very real. I like how Mem named her diary Impatience. It told the rough times the pilgrims had, death, no food, losing friends and family.
