This review is by Becca, age 12.
“A Lion To Guard Us" was written by Clyde Robert Bulla in 1981.
The main characters are Amanda, Jemmy (8), Meg (5), and Dr. Crider. They start in England in the 1600's where Amanda works for Mistress Trippet. When their mother dies, they must sail to America to be with their father in Jamestown.
The children travel with Dr. Crider. When he dies they must continue alone. Then they are ship wrecked in Bermuda. How will they get to Jamestown now? Will their father be there? What if he isn't?
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it is a good book because it tells what it was like in England. It also shows what it was like to sail to America for orphaned children in the 1600's.
