ndeed, food is scarce and there is no one left who can deal with the Indians wisely. As a result of starvation and disease, Lizzie watches hopelessly as many of the settlers die. She records all of this, but even more, she records the intimate lives of the children who remain there, along

Elizabeth Barker continues to write to her "friend," her diary, as disease and lack of food further plague the suffering settlers at Jamestown.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
This "My America" title has much in common with its big sisters in the popular "Dear America" series of historical fiction from Scholastic. First, it is written in a journal format. Second, it features as its main character a strong, capable girl who, while fictional, is drawn from the experiences of actual girls and women who lived in a particular period of American history. Third, this fictionalized diary conveys to contemporary children many facts about the challenges and joys of daily life in our American past. The major difference is that "My America" books are written for slightly younger readers, those wanting to take their first steps into chapter books. In this story, the protagonist is Elizabeth Barker, a nine-year-old inhabitant of Jamestown, the 17th century English colony struggling to survive in the New World. Elizabeth and many other characters have been carried over from Hermes first book, Elizabeth's Diary. The story picks up its thread in October of 1609. As a harsh winter looms, the colony faces both a lack of food reserves and a lack of leadership in the wake of Captain John Smith's return to England. Elizabeth's best friend, Jessie, sailed away on the same ship. Her twin brother, Caleb, is expected to rejoin the family soon, traveling on a supply ship that the London Company has promised will arrive in May. But with deadly diseases raging within the settlement's stockade walls and unfriendly Indians outside, Elizabeth wonders who will be left alive to greet him. 2001, Scholastic, . Ages 7 to 10.

    My book is called My America The Starving Time Elizabeth¿s Dairy Two. My character is Elizabeth. Elizabeth has a twin brother. He still lives in England while the rest of his family lives in Jamestown, Virginia. His name is Caleb and he is supposed to go to Jamestown in spring. The book reminded me of when I was at church camp and came home. My cousin was sitting on my bed. I thought of my book as funny, sad, and exciting.

    Lizzie's story continues in the sequel to Our Strange New Land.

    It's October, 1609. Although her best friend Jessie Bolton has returned to England with her grieving father following her mother's death, nine-year-old Elizabeth Barker is hopeful. The small colony of Jamestown, Virginia, is finally beginning to feel like home. The birth of Lizzie's baby sister, Abigail, has brought the Barker family joy. And Lizzie's twin brother, Caleb, will join the family come spring. But nothing can prepare Lizzie, her family, and the other colonies for the hardships they will face over winter. There isn't nearly enough food to last until the next ship arrives in the spring, and as soon as the first snow falls, disease once again breaks out among the colonists. Lizzie fears for her life, for her parent's lives, but especially for the life of little Abigail, whom Lizzie fears may not be strong enough to survive the winter. Lizzie and her new friend Mary cling to each other for comfort and pray for deliverance, yet even their strong spirits may not be enough to keep their families alive. As Lizzie struggles through the death of friends and loved ones, family and strangers, and starvation and sickness, she fights to keep her hope alive and to never give up. Told through Lizzie's spirited diary entries, this book continues the story begun in Our Strange New Land. Both that book and this one reveal what life might have been like for a young girl during the difficult winter of 1609-1610 in Jamestown Colony. I highly reccomend this book to all fans of the Dear America series, especially those that loved the first book about Lizzie.
