Kate Messner is so relatable and made me laugh many times. This series is going to be a HUGE hit! I just love that this book compares the myths to the truth, and debunks past paintings, speeches, and other documents that just don’t line up with what really happened. Through illustrations, graphic panels, photographs, sidebars, and more, acclaimed author Kate Messner smashes history by exploring the little-known details behind the legends of the Mayflower and the first Thanksgiving. And just wait until you learn the truth about Plymouth Rock. Did you know that the pilgrims didn’t go straight from England to Plymouth? No, they made a stop along the way–and almost stayed forever Did you know there was a second ship, called the Speedwell, that was too leaky to make the trip? No joke. It was months before the Pilgrims met any Wampanoag people, and nobody gave anybody corn that day. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and made friends with Wampanoag people who gave them corn.
