Quest for the Lost Prince: Introducing Samuel Morris (Trailblazer Books)

great book

My children have loved the Trailblazer books! This one is my personal favorite. After reading this story of his miraculous deliverance from his enemies, I had to find out more about Samuel Morris. He was an amazing young man, and God's delivering and guiding him to America is an unforgettable story! Definitely a keeper.

My son loves these books! They are so exciting he can't put them down, and reads them over a span of just a couple of days. He says that this particular book was one of the very best of all the Trailblazers. In his own words..."I liked this book because of the adventure throughout, starting right on the first page. It was kind of scary because of the adventures of the main character,who is an African native boy of fourteen. At the beginning, he retells the story of what happened in his life since the age of seven. That got me really excited about finishing the story.Throughout the whole book, the main character goes through several changes in his life, and in the end it turned out great." My son would love to tell you the whole story, but he wouldn't want to spoil it ....every boy should read this book!

Great way to introduce kids to Samuel Morris
