The Captive Princess Once upon a time there was an Algonquin princess named Pocahontas, a curious 10-year-old who loved exploring the tidewater lands of her people. One day she encounters strangers, a group of people that look different from her own. She befriends them, and when her people come into conflict with these new settlers, Pocahontas steps in to save the life of one of them by offering her own. Based on the true story of Pocahontas' early life. “Pocahontas has long been a favorite character of mine, and Wendy Lawton brings her to glorious life in The Captive Princess. Through Lawton's excellent research and vivid writing, Pocahontas walked out of the dense forest and into my heart. This book is a treasure!” — Angela Hunt, author of Uncharted The Captive Princess  Qty:
	The Tinker’s Daughter Mary Bunyan, the blind daughter of jailed Pilgrim’s Progress author, John Bunyan, learns that depending solely on her own strength, leads to disaster for her family.  Only when she finally admits that she needs help does she tap into the Source of all strength. "John Bunyan had six children-among them Mary, who was born blind, yet still brought her father soup every day when he was imprisoned for preaching the gospel. Lawton deftly brings to life the dirt, danger, and turbulence of 17th-century England, as "seen" by a plucky 10-year-old. While the book is listed for an 8-to-12 audience, any lover of inspiring fictionalized history would be hooked by the brave little heroine.” — Review by Moody Magazine May/June 2002 The Tinker's Daughter Qty:

	Ransom’s Mark Ransom’s Mark recounts the story of thirteen-year-old Olive Oatman’s journey west by wagon train.  Renegade Yavapais capture Olive and her sister in 1851 after the massacre of their family.  A year later the Mohaves rescue the sisters and tattoo them with the mark of ransom.  The cruelty of Olive’s early captivity and the death of her sister from starvation bring Olive to the edge of despair before she discovers what ransom really means. “[Wendy Lawton] uses historical terms and words, with a parent/ teacher's dream-- a glossary. All the while the child is learning, they're also transported effortlessly into history. The dialogue and writing are as good as it gets. Highly recommended for home and school.” — Crystal Miller Ransom's Mark Qty:
