The book was very dirty. Had to use sanitizing cleaner to clean it. Would most certainly clean it before anyone touched this book. As you can tell it was dirty, and wrote in. :(

My Name Is America The Journal Of Jasper Jonathan Pierce A Pilgrim Boy Ann Rinaldi 9780590510783 Books Reviews

Ann Rinaldi is one of my favorite author's, so I grabbed "The Journal of Jasper Jonathan Pierce A Pilgrim Boy" as fast as I could. Most Mayflower stories are about life on the boat itself, while this book told about life on the Mayflower, life on their new land, and meeting with the Indians. It did drag at times, but nonetheless, it kept my attention. A great way to learn history. I recommend.
Orphaned when they were little, fourteen-year-old Jasper and his younger brother, Tom, scavanged on the streets of London, until they were fortunate enough to find positions as indentured servants. But when Jasper's master decides to travel to America on the Mayflower and Tom's does not, the brothers are separated. On the long, tedious, and difficult journey to the New World, and during the dangerous and tragedy-filled first months in the New World, Jasper takes comfort in writing in a journal that he plans to send back to his brother. And during that time, Jasper comes to think of Plymouth Colony as his home. I highly recommend this addition to the My Name is America series. Ann Rinaldi has created a fictional hero and brought him to life, along with some real life people that sailed on the Mayflower. She described the New World as a young person might have really seen it.
This is my first experience with the My Name is America series, though I have read a number of other books in the Dear America series and I have to say, I rather enjoyed it. My Name is America The Journal of Jasper Jonathan Pierce is written in the style of a personal diary that the main character (Jasper Jonathan Pierce) writes to his brother whom he was forced to leave behind in England. The book initially starts out with some history on JJP and his brother...they are orphaned children of a clock maker who had been living on the streets of London for several years begging, doing odd jobs and even pick-pocketing to get by. They are lured into becoming indentured servants when they are threatened with prison for their stealing. The boys (Jasper 14, and Tom 12) enter into a contract for 7 years each with different families, each set to sail to the New World on the Mayflower. At the last minute, Tom's "owner" decides the trip is too dangerous and takes Tom and leaves the boat. Distraught, Jasper has no choice but to go on, but Jasper has a kindly master and he is given a blank book to record his journey so that he might keep his brothers in his thoughts and deeds.

From there, we are given an account of the journey on the Mayflower, the landing of the Pilgrims and Strangers (non-pilgrims) in the New World, their attempts to settle, and their struggles to make contact with the elusive and frightening (to them) natives, and the harsh (and sometimes deadly) conditions they had to endure while setting up their town and in making it through their first few winters in Plymouth. I enjoyed reading this because the main character (Jasper) is based on an actual historical figure who landed with the Mayflower and while it is a fictional account, it is historically accurate in detailing the condition their lives and the physical and emotional well-being (or lack there of) as individuals and as a community and I think that this book (and the entire series) is a wonderful way for children to get an idea of exactly what life was like for children (and adults) in the colonial period of U.S. history. Jasper himself wasn't a Pilgrim, but his "story" gives the reader and up-close and personal glimpse into their day-to-day lives as well as showing their encounters with the Indians in a way that demonstrates all the fear (and moral superiority on occasion) they felt in meeting and dealing with them. I also like that the author takes the time to also show the lives of the Indians way of life and how they might have felt about these new immigrants in a positive way while foreshadowing the difficulties that were yet to come. Young readers will appreciate reading about the history of the Plymouth colony from a perspective they can relate to and they will get lot of great information on the journey to the new world, the beliefs and practices of the Pilgrims and their struggles to rebuild their lives in this unfamiliar New World! I give My Name is America The Journal of Jasper Jonathan Pierce five stars and two thumbs up...a great jumping off point for studying the Pilgrims, Plymouth, and/or the voyage of the Mayflower to the New World. This book is ideal for readers age 9-12 and may be suitable for the 7-9 range as a read aloud (with discussion). I'd recommend this book in a heartbeat.
Great book and an excellent historical point of view. great for 4th and 5th graders to be immersed in how children's lives were in the past.
Great deal! One minor issue was that some of the pages weren't cut evenly. Didn't interfere at all though
I love all of the I am America books. I have a book club for boys and they love to read these books.
This is a great book. My son is 7 and is reading it. The words used have inspired great conversations. Definitely a fun way to increase vocabulary, the historical factor giving forum to speak about history, and got him thinking about the big picture of life. There is a joke in there my son has been laughing about its been 3 weeks. Love this book will order more
