Two Bad Pilgrims by Katherine Lasky illustrated by John Manders

All pilgrims were holy and focused on God, correct?  Well, this book revealed misconceptions I had!
This book is graphic style narrated by a "professor" and the two Billington Pilgrim boys.  These boys and their parents did exist and contributed to the beginning of the new world (maybe not all wonderful things!).

Points to discuss:  Although I learned a lot about a different aspect of history, I did not appreciate the boys' behavior-disrespectful; foul language-mentions "cursing" but no bad words are written; poor attitudes; rudeness; lying; stealing etc.
The title "Two Bad Pilgrims" is very accurate!!
