Customer Reviews

Great adventure story for young Christian readers.

In this adventurous story a group of three kids go back in time. They get transported to a colony called Roanoke. The only way to return to their own time is to solve the mystery of how the people of Roanoke disappeared. In the process, they make friends, learn about the past and grow spiritually. It's unpredictable and will keep you on the edge of your seat!

An interesting book !

After reading another book about The Lost Colony, I decided to explore further. SECRET OF THE LOST COLONY is an interesting interpretation of what may have happened to the lost men, women and children of the 1587 Roanoke Colony, and certainly gives a different answer to what caused them to vanish without a trace. I don't think historians would agree, however, that most of them drowned in a hurricane. If you want to read a fictional account which is historically researched and extremely logical in its conclusion, try THE LYON'S ROAR, by M. L. Stainer. It's exciting, accurate, and absolutely enthralling!
