Samuel Collier was on the adventure of a lifetime, sailing to the New World as the page of Captain John Smith on board the Susan Constant. But, from the stink and discomfort of the “tween deck, it felt more like misery than adventure. It didn’t help that the “gentlemen” on board were accusing Captain Smith of terrible things and there were rumors that the natives were cannibals. Would they survive this adventure?

When Moon’s Pap died, he buried him beside his mother, but then he wasn’t sure what to do. At 10-years-old, he was perfectly capable of living off the land in the forest where he was raised, but his pap wanted him to go to Alaska to be with other people like themselves.
