Appropriate for grades 2-6. A biography that brings the reader into Columbus' thoughts and feelings. The author describes his great determination to get what he wanted and his overwhelming love of the sea. He did not always succeed, but he was the most famous of world explorers and his great spirit of adventure and his story of determination is a joy for any young person to read.
