What a cute story! For me it was a very quick read since it's only a little more than 100 pages. Great for boys and girls especially in the 7-10 age range.
This book tells the story of 3 siblings (Amanda, Jemmy, and Meg). They are servants in a rich household in London, England. These children want so badly to travel to Jamestown in America to meet their father again; they haven't seen him for 3 years. They still remember him from the brass door-knocker he passed down to them before he left; it was in the shape of a lion's head and he said it would guard them until they could be together as a family again.
Many troubles are encountered though. These poor children don't know how they could ever make it across the ocean.
