New Book: ‘The Boy Who Fell off the Mayflower’

Do you have an ancestor who came over on the Mayflower – and want to interest the grandkids in their family history? Then this is the book for you.

Even if your ancestor isn’t John Howland – who actually did fall off the Mayflower – the kids will love this story. They’ll picture themselves making the voyage, never before realizing just how dangerous it was.

Get it from your public library – or better yet, get copies for all of the grandkids from Candlewick Press.
