"In 1620, a group of Pilgrims left Europe aboard a ship called the Mayflower. They sailed toward North America, hoping to make a new home where they could practice their religion freely. Readers will join Hope and Theodore as their set sail on a 66-day journey across the Atlantic Ocean. They will learn what living conditions were like aboard the ship, what dangers the Pilgrims faced at sea, and much more."--Publisher's description.
