Ruth of Boston: A Story of the Massachusetts Bay Colony

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to read more books by James Otis, as they seem both informative and inspiring. This is historical fiction about the Pilgrims.

Otis describes a lot of the history involving the lives of the people, both historical events and everyday lives. Sometimes, however, it's painfully obvious that the book was written to teach children, and it isn't as engaging as it could be. However, the chapters are very short, and it would be very easy to assign one or two chapters a day to a child studying this period of history.

3. Ruth of Boston a Story of the Massachusetts Bay Colony by James Otis (Paperback / softback, 2015);

I reached chapter three before giving it up. It is supposed to be the fictional diary of a 12 year old girl, but the author apparently had no idea how to accurately voice a 12 year old child. She sounded like an adult in a child's body.

Despite some interesting historical details, it was rather boring. And their religion was so depressing. I'm very thankful I didn't live in that era, reading about their religious idiosyncrasies was bad enough. I think I'd be miserable living them.
