The Sunfire Stow-Away!

Merrie is a well-off English girl, cir. 1620. Yet she craves adventure (and what good Sunfire heroine DOESN'T??), and stows away aboard a little ship known as the Mayflower! Not only must Merrie choose her men but her continents! And of course Merrie clashes with those somber Pilgrims, makes friends with the Indians, etc. Also, this story has one of the most touching scenes of the series when Merrie must make her choice between the guys... Great stuff...

Cool book!

Merrie doesn't want an arranged marriage, so she runs away from her home and stows away on the Mayflower. Several days into the voyage she is found though. It is too late to turn back so they let her stay. Then she falls in love with a Pilgrim. Does he love her too though?
