Giles Hopkins' Arrival in Plymouth: A New Mayflower Boy

Rebekka Parry, the author behind the popular children's story about Hobomok, the Indian pal of the Pilgrims, delves into history once again with a captivating tale for young readers. Ever wondered what life was like for a boy among the Mayflower Pilgrims in Plymouth 400 years ago? Giles Hopkins lived that reality. In her riveting account of Giles Hopkins' first year in Plymouth, Parry paints a vivid picture of the challenges and adventures he faced as the Pilgrims adapted to life in the New World, forging friendships with Native Americans like Samoset, Squanto, and Chief Massasoit. This action-packed narrative offers both entertainment and education, shedding light on the extraordinary experiences of a boy in the early days of Plymouth. Dr. James J.S. Johnson, Historian at the Institute for Creation Research, recommends this enjoyable and informative journey into the past.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Rebekka Parry during her visits to Plymouth to explore our nation's rich Christian heritage. Rebekka is a talented researcher with a unique ability to uncover compelling stories from primary sources. As a mother, she effortlessly connects with children through her relatable and educational writing style. I wholeheartedly recommend her book.
