Worlds Collide Along the Shores of the Outer Banks Immerse yourself in the "what if" questions related to the Lost Colony of Roanoke. What if an English boy and a native girl met in the wilderness? The push-and-pull between two very different worlds begins as one seeks simple friendship and the other struggles to trust. And can it--dare they--allow it to be more? Sparks fly between Mushaniq, free-spirited daughter of Manteo, and Georgie Howe, whose father was brutally murdered by undiscovered native warriors before they'd been on Roanoac Island a full week. As Georgie struggles to make sense of his life and to accept that not all they call "savage" are guilty of his father's death, Mushaniq grapples with her own questions about who Manteo has become. As tentative friendship becomes more, forged in the fire of calamity and attack upon their community, both must decide whether the One True God is indeed who He claims to be and whether He is worthy of their trust.

I've attempted to read both of these novels since I do like a lot of Shannon McNear's works. Unfortunately, I was unable to get interested in either book. I tried to skip the beginning and start at the middle or even 3/4 of the way through, if I find that I like the story at that point, I'll go back and read the entire novel. But, I couldn't seem to get into the story. But, just because I don't care for it, is no reason that someone else might not like this same book and series. I still recommend it.
