Books with title The Mayflower Project

From K.A. Applegate, best-selling author of Animorphs and Everworld, comes a dark and powerful new series that begins with the end of Earth as we know it. The end of the world. Not something most people really think about. Not something we expect to ever really happen. But what if you found out that an asteroid the size of New Jersey was about to collide with the earth? What would you do? That¹s what Jobs is asking himself. The question he asked his family. And he certainly didn¹t expect the answer he got. He didn¹t expect that in a very short time he and his family would be a few of the lucky ones selected to board a revamped space shuttle. What happens when they get to where they¹re going‹if they make it there at all?

Here is the story of the one hundred and two passengers who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. The trip was crowded and dangerous. Trouble continued when the passengers settled in Plymouth for a bitter, cold winter. However, their determination was ultimately rewarded; the Pilgrims adjusted to New Englad thanks to help from local Native Americans and soon celebrated their first harvest in the New World. A time line lists the sequence of events and elaborates on the evolution of the Thanksgiving holiday.
