About the Author:
Michael Burgan has written numerous books for children and young adults during his nearly 20 years as a freelance writer. Many of his books have focused on U.S. history, geography, and the lives of world leaders. Michael has won several awards for his writing, and his graphic novel version of the classic tale Frankenstein (Stone Arch Books) was a Junior Library Guild selection. Michael graduated from the University of Connecticut with a bachelor’s degree in history. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his cat, Callie.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 7-9–Each biography includes a chronology of the subject's life and the significant events of his times, a chart of quick facts, and an extensive index. The books are enlivened with full-color paintings, sketches, maps, and photographs. In the first title, Winthrop's concern for religious freedom is portrayed, as is his belief that Puritan precepts should be the laws of the people. Williams recounts the life of a man determined to separate the church from the affairs of the state. In the third book, Somervill tells the story of William Penn and his struggle to find a place to worship without persecution. All three books discuss why the men left England, their joys and trials in the New World, and their search to find the perfect colony. While not especially lively, the narratives offer clear pictures of life in Colonial times.–Delia Carruthers, Sunset Ridge Middle School, West Jordan, UT
