Book Description
This biography introduces young readers to the life of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León. Readers learn about his early education as a page and a squire to Pedro Núñez de Guzmán and his early inspirations, such as Christopher Columbus's stories of reaching the Indies by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. Readers also learn that many historians believe Ponce de León joined Columbus's second voyage to the New World, which set sail from Cádiz, Spain. Ponce de León's time on Hispaniola, his military service, and his family life are also discussed. Engaging text details Ponce de León's expedition to Puerto Rico for King Ferdinand II, who allowed Ponce de León to colonize the island. A detailed map allows readers to follow Ponce de León's expedition to the island of Bimini in search of the Fountain of Youth. Readers discover that Ponce de León explored the Bahamas, named Florida, discovered the Gulf Stream, and explored the Florida Keys. Ponce de León's death in Cuba is also introduced, as is his legacy today in Puerto Rico. Full-color photos, an index, a timeline, discussion questions, bold glossary terms, and phonetics accompany easy-to-read text.

Book Description
It was in July 1502 when the sailing ship El Dorado, laden with plundered treasures, was making a return trip to Spain from Santo Domingo. The El Dorado was thought to have perished in the dark depths of the Mona Passage during the worst-recorded hurricane in history—one with winds of incredible strength and a tumultuous, angry sea of towering waves. Juan Perez, a survivor of that shipwreck, was held captive in Florida for nineteen years by the long-lost tribe of Calusa Indians. He endured torture, war, inhumane treatment and witnessed acts of cannibalism . . . and eventually fell in love with King Senequne's daughter, Tepe. This is the story of Juan's eventual escape and rescue . . . and the sacred Vid, the true Fountain of Youth, that his mentor, Ponce de Leon, had long dreamed of finding. But along with the Vid came the human curse of greed that endangered the lives of any who possessed it.
