Two Ships

'Two Ships' a novel written by James P. Redwood is a story that will take you back in time. James P. Redwood wrote a book that is historical fiction that is all about how a boy named Piotr Nowak learns about how to survive in many circumstances that are presented to him. This is the story of very early America and Canada and how crews of sorts meet and solve dilemmas. There were a few favorite parts to this story that I really enjoyed. One part was actually 'seeing' the journey from Europe on the ship for the James to me was quite visual in his writing. He also showed how Piotr lived and learned while on the ship. Also, I liked their journey into the wilderness of the New World. The sketches at the beginning of each section were just enough to make me want to keep reading to see what happens. This is a book that would make a good discussion course in writing to show how the past and present do show various relationships between all kinds of people no matter the time period. This is Book one of a series that is clearly a novel written by a show and tell author.
