Jean Fritz brings history to life once again in 10 true tales of 15th-century European explorers--from Bartholomew Diaz and Christopher Columbus to Juan Ponce de Len and Vasco Nez de Balboa--who changed the map and left behind stories of adventure too good to miss. Fritz approaches [the salient facts] with playful irreverence; accordingly, the frequently traveled material can seem refreshingly new. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review [Fritz] turns in a fast-paced narrative enriched and enlivened by fascinating stories and details of the sort that rarely appear in standard textbooks. -- Kirkus Reviews, pointer review No one is better than Jean Fritz at making history interesting as well as comprehensible. -- The Horn Book Jean Fritz lives in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Anthony Bacon Venti lives in Rockland, Maine.
