What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Amanda Freebold doesn’t know what to do. Her father left three years ago for the new colony Jamestown, in America, thousands of miles away. All Amanda has to remember him by is a little brass lion’s head he gave his family to guard them while he is gone. Now her mother has just died, leaving Amanda to take care of her younger brother and sister.
