There had never before been a murder in Plymouth colony. In a community founded on such high ideals and strong principles, the very idea was unthinkable, but the facts were undeniable: John Newcomen had been shot and killed by someone. But by whom? When Governor William Bradford voices his suspicion of John Billington, somewhat of an outsider whose penchant for public drunkenness makes him an easy scapegoat, his own son rushes to the man’s defense. Twelve-year-old John Bradford understands what it’s like to live outside of his father’s good graces. It seems to him that every little mistake earns a harsh reprimand, but nothing he could ever do would win his father’s approval. This historical novel brings together the drama of a murder mystery and the complexities of the relationship between a father and his son to provide a glimpse of what life might have been like growing up in the young colony as it too struggled to determine its course and its identity.
From Booklist
Gr. 5-7. Eleven-year-old John Bradford has a strained relationship with his demanding father, Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford. Despite John's earnest efforts and his stepmother's encouragement, he finds it difficult to please his father. When one of the colonists is killed by an unknown assailant, the whole community feels the anxiety of an unsolved mystery in their midst. The tension is only partially relieved after the killer among them is identified. Though the setting, the characters, and some of the events are based on historical accounts of Plymouth Colony, the actual story is original. The characters are sympathetic and their problems are not as easily, happily, or completely resolved as in much fiction written for this age level. The mystery element gives an added dimension to this historical novel. Carolyn Phelan
