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!
Another homerun for the Dear America serries August 17, 1999

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!

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.
 Great Book, few errors June 19, 1999
This was a GREAT book. I have read it many times, and wouldn't mind reading it again. There were a few errors. It is FICTION, OK, it's NOT real. It mentions someone (I won't say who) going back, but I read that no one went back to England. And the part about the diary being found in 1850 and all was like, "OK, this is Fiction, you can stop trying to convince us it's real now, because we should know it's not." But all in all, it was a very good book that I like to read.
Very good! June 18, 1999
The story was very interesting and realistic but I don't think it was very well researched because the author didn't say mutch about hte horrible winter that they faced or the first thanksgiving. But besides that, it was a lovely story!
