<div><div> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>When James and Eamon go to a week of Nature Camp and stay at Eamon's grandparents' house, it turns out that their free time spent staying inside, eating waffles, and playing video games is way more interesting than nature. But sometimes things work out best when they don't go exactly as planned. This Caldecott Honor-winning book is a moving and hilarious celebration of young boys, childhood friendships, and the power of the imagination, where Marla Frazee captures the very essence of summer vacation and what it means to be a kid.</div></DIV>

From the diary of twelve-year-old Mem, short for Remember, comes the story of her family's trip on the Mayflower in 1620 and their first year in the New World. As one of 34 children among the 102 people on board the small cargo ship that was unfit for human transport, Mem relied on her sense of humor and her hopes for a better future to get her through the two months of horrible conditions on the journey, and the disappointments and hardships the endured after their arrival. The courage and determination of the Pilgrims as they survive their ordeal shines through in this inspiring account of a crucial period of American history.
