Stink Alley
Stink Alley is the title of a book I read in sixth grade. It is set in 17th century Holland, and the main characters are all pilgrims before they went to America on the Mayflower. What a lot of people don't know is that the pilgrims went to Holland to escape being put in jail for having their own church services instead of going to the Kings church before they went to America. Some of the pilgrims even stayed in Holland their whole lives. Anyway, the book is about this girl who is living with Master William Brewster's family because she is an orphan, and her life in Holland. It is very historical and fun too! The only downside is that the author portrays Master Brewster as very strict and mean and in real life he isn't. Anyway I thought it was interesting.
