The first colony planted in North America was on Roanoke Island in
1597. The company who planted this colony promised to return the
following year with supplies and more people. However England went
to war that year and the supply ships were taken by the king to
help in the war effort. It was over three years before the ships
returned to Roanoke Island. When they arrived not a trace of the
colony was found. No one has ever been able to find out what
happened to them. This book, although not about the Roanoke Island
colony, takes a similar colony near that area and takes them
through the trials that people in America faced in that period of
time. The story starts with Milford and Doris Kipling, who are
linguists, being asked by the king to go with the new colony to
teach its leadership the language of the natives. After they have
complete this task they were to return with the ships. The Kipling
couple took their sixteen year old son, John, with them. After they
complete their task John asked to stay for the rest of the year
promising to return the next year with the ships. Of course the
ships didn't return and John faced the perils and catastrophes that
led he and his companion across North America. The trek across
America is just a part of John's adventure. The reader will enjoy
several other adventures and meet many interesting characters along
the way.
