Description:

Peter Cook has a good life as a bound boy by a master who treats him like a son. Everything changes the day that Peter discovers that his master has died of the black plague and he is thrown out of the great house. Peter soon meets a group of people called Separatists—because they have chosen to separate from the established Church of England. Join young Peter and his friends, as they make the long and dangerous trip across the Atlantic Ocean. There they meet the Native American people whom they called Indians. Peter befriends one of them, Squanto, and celebrates the first Thanksgiving as a Pilgrim.

跟随少年 Peter Cook,踏上一段横渡大西洋、寻找信仰自由的新大陆之旅。

少年 Peter Cook 原本过着安稳的生活。虽然他是与主人签有长期劳役契约的少年,但主人待他如同自己的儿子。然而,一切在主人因**黑死病(Black Plague)**去世后突然改变,Peter 被赶出了原本居住的大宅。

流离失所的 Peter 后来遇见了一群被称为 Separatists(分离派)的基督徒。他们因为信仰的缘故,选择脱离当时的英国国教会(Church of England).

Peter 与这些新朋友一起踏上漫长而危险的旅程,横渡大西洋前往新大陆。在那里,他们遇见了当地的美洲原住民(Native Americans)。Peter 更与其中一位著名人物 Squanto 建立了友谊,并最终以一名清教徒移民(Pilgrim)的身份,一起庆祝后来被称为第一次感恩节的丰收庆典。

本书透过一个少年的冒险故事,带领孩子认识清教徒移民的历史、信仰自由、横渡大西洋的艰辛,以及早期殖民者与美洲原住民的相遇,让历史变得生动而容易理解。
