Description
"Immersive . . . This riveting portrayal of early Colonial New England shines a speculative but compelling light on the time and place." -- Kirkus Reviews
New England, 1643. A meeting in the forest between a rebellious young Englishman and a visionary Wampanoag leads to a dangerous collision of societies, an epic sea journey, and the making of an unforgettable friendship. Will Poole's Island is a tale of adventure, wonder, and mystery in which a young man discovers that he is destined for more than his narrow upbringing led him to expect.
"Tim Weed's Will Poole's Island is a doorway to an earlier world when the United States existed as a borderless tract of land whose dimensions could hardly be imagined. This is a superb novel, written with truth and daring at its core." -- Joseph Monninger, National Endowment for the Arts Fellow and author of The World as We Know It
