Opis

The time-traveling cousins, Zammie and Kyla, are back . . . back to 1620 where they become separated from each other along the shores around Cape Cod. Zammie spends several months living with a Wampanoag Indian tribe while Kyla crosses the Atlantic on The Mayflower. Zammie must prove his worth as a hunter to the Natives in order to keep from being traded to a neighboring tribe, while Kyla does her best to help the fledgling English settlers while their numbers decline from starvation and sickness. Over the course of a year they learn that the First Thanksgiving is much more than just turkey and stuffing. They learn about survival, friendship, building trust with strangers, and showing loyalty. They meet Squanto, Massasoit, Captain Standish and Edward Winslow as well as a host of other historical figures involved in the long drama that we celebrate today as one of our most treasured holidays.
