Summary: The Teachable Moment
Review: When I discovered this work it was a dream come true..For many years I have taught American History to 8th graders. The classes that I have require truly engaging texts and this is one. I have used the book for the past three years to teach valuable lessons about the Puritans and the Native Americans. The author is very accurate in her description of the events and the picture of the climate between the two groups has am impact on the students. What a perfect way to teach historical fiction. I have my students research what is history and what is fiction. They must prove the histroical parts in a defense paper. If you are a teacher lookng for total engagement and a valuable way to relate to this age, buy and use this book. If you are a young adult reader that wants to curl up with a great book this summer you have found a winner. Discover the beauty of a young girl's interaction with her Native American friends. Seek another point of view about the history of this period. Surpise you teacher next year with your knowledge while you read a wonderfully constructed story. Enjoy!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: _The Primrose Way_ is the story of Rebekah, a 16-year-old Puritan girl who befriends a young Native American girl and faces the prejudice and fear of her community. Her quiet strength and courage makes her a believable heroine, and Mishannock, the Native American man she falls in love with, is a wonderfully solid character, with a fascinating inner strength.
