Book Reviews of Where Do You Think You're Going, Christopher Columbus?
Book Review: A Lucky Man
Summary: 5 Stars
Columbus was a lucky man (blessed, he would say). He had to be. Who else could have so much go so wrong and still become famous for the one big thing he did by mistake: discover America...if he did that. Anyway, he had a lot of adventure (or misadventure), and Jean Fritz tells about it and him--not in the traditionally reverent way, but with a humorous and matter-of-fact approach.

Summary of Where Do You Think You're Going, Christopher Columbus?
Christopher Columbus counted on finding gold and spices when he set sail to discover a new route to the Indies, but all he got was parrots, naked natives in grass huts, and mosquito bites. But that didn't stop him from making more trips across the sea. What he never expected was that he'd discover a whole new world. Jean Fritz makes history accessible once more in this wry biography of a legendary explorer. An ALA Notable Book, A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, A Booklist Notable Children's Book of the Year, and an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists.Exploration & Discovery Books
