History takes on life in this exciting tale of a jaunt back to the Mayflower and getting an impressions of what those pilgrims experienced.

Blake loves video games and absolutely hates history, since it's so boring. Thanks to his imitation of a turkey, he's now in trouble too. Hoping to give him new thoughts, his parents send him to the attic where one of his relatives' possessions has been stored away after her death. Blake hopes to discover a few treasures, but instead, finds himself whipped back in time. He awakes in the body of one of his ancestors and now, gets to experience the voyage of the Mayflower first hand. But living history isn't as easy as he thought it might be.

This is a fun little adventure and a lovely way to learn about history. Blake comes across as a very normal boy and tends to find himself in a bit of self-made trouble every now and then. But he's likable and never carries mean intent. Before hopping back through time, the reader is given a chance to get to know Blake and his family in a setting, which will be very familiar to many. So, when he sweeps back onto the Mayflower, it's easy to understand his decisions, fears, and to cheer him on.

The idea behind this series is to teach kids more about historical events, while letting them sink in through modern day reality. And it does this fairly well. The historical aspects are researched, and the places to find more information are listed in the back of the book. Blake not only sinks into a person on the Mayflower but meets more and lesser known true historical figures along the way in a 'true to life' manner. The idea that these were real people and not just tales comes across pretty well, while an exciting adventure unfolds. The details and information of the time period are brought across but in a way, which doesn't bore. Rather, the tale pulls the plot along and lets the pilgrims appear as they truly might have.

It's a lovely way to open up the Mayflower adventure in a way which kids won't find boring...and still, learn quite a bit as well.

I received a complimentary copy and find this a wonderful way to get kids into history. ( )
