Book #2
The King Philips' War Adventure picks up where Pilgrim Adventures leaves off. Siblings Finn and Ginny are still trying to find their parents who have been lost in time. Narrowly making it back to the 21st century, brother and sister make a second attempt at time travel. This time landing separately in 1765.While trying to find one another and search for their parents, the kids must deal with the rapidly deteriorating relationship between the Colonists and Indians which has resulted in King Philips' War. In addition to the brutal fighting, the reader learns how Indian tribes have turned against one another, with levels of trickery and loss of compassion on all sides.
Using actual events, this book takes more of a personal look at the fighting and toll on the English and Indian families. Between that and wondering if Finn and Ginny would find each other before the time machine triggered again, I could not put this heart-tugger down!
Due to the nature of this story, the minimal reading age for this book is a mature 10+ only.
The author has surely penned another winner. And, as I hand my copy of the book to my 13 year old, I'm left wondering when book #3 will be released.....
To celebrate the release of book #2, for a limited time, July 24-25, you can download Pilgrim Adventures for free! The author would love for you to post a review of the book on Amazon once you are finished.
