Dec 20, 2008

it was amazing

bookshelves: newbery-medal, early-america, juvenile

Great story of a boy who becomes an indentured servant in early American and has to give up his dream of more schooling. His story of persistence & self-education is well-told and inspiring as he pushes himself to excel and becomes the author of a famous book of navigation.
