Bookroo's summary
Eli embarks on a journey from Germany to America, settling in the Skippack area. While he relishes the freedom of outdoor life, his mother insists on schooling. Expecting a stern teacher, Eli is surprised by Master Christopher Dock's gentle yet firm guidance. Will Eli adapt to this new world and embrace the unexpected lessons it offers?
From the publisher
With his German family, Eli crosses the Atlantic on The Charming Nancy. From Philadelphia, oxen pull their wagon into Penn’s Woods, where they make their new home in the Skippack area. Eli loves outdoor work and play, but Mom says he must go to school. Though Eli expects the teacher to be cross, Master Christopher Dock is kind, firm, and patient.
