As a class they loved the book. We discussed how the ending did not go exactly as we expected but we loved that the family was reunited. (Spoiler)

I‘m currently reading this to our P 4 class. It fits into Social Studies (the discovery of Bermuda) and Language (reading and writing Historical Fiction). They are so into it! I told them I might not be able to read to them and they got so upset! So now I have started something. I can see I am going to be reading to them until June.
