This book, used in Lesson 31 of Early American History (4-6), will ship separately.
When Christopher Columbus prepares to sail west in search of Asia, he needs a cabin boy who can read and write. Twelve-year-old Pedro de Salcedo gets the job, and from the moment the Santa María leaves port, he records everything in his journal. If he does not return alive, perhaps someone, someday, will find it and learn of his incredible journey.

Pedro de Salcedo could not have known what adventures lay ahead. His voyage as ship's boy aboard Christopher Columbus' Santa María would bring both danger and excitement, and through it all, he captured every moment between the pages of a journal.
Through Pedro's eyes, readers witness the wonders and challenges of one of history's most famous voyages: vast open seas, a restless and frightened crew, uncharted lands, and people unlike any he has ever known.
Pedro's Journal by Pam Conrad brings one of history's most famous voyages to life through the eyes of a boy who lived every moment of it.
