This fictional diary tells the story of a girl named Remember Patience Whipple (AKA "Mem"). Her family is traveling on the Mayflower to the New World in 1620. After traveling for many weeks, they arrive on the land and are overwhelmed with questions. They discover that their voyage was only the beginning of the journey. The Pilgrims will have to learn how to live a totally new life like they've never lived before in Europe.
This story will provide a realistic sense of what it was like for early settlers dealing with death, illness, and other tragedies. This story would compliment a history lesson about the pilgrims or Mayflower.
