In 1607, when John Smith and his "Coatmen" arrive in Powhatan to begin settling the colony of Virginia, their relations with the village's inhabitants are anything but warm. Pocahontas, the beloved daughter of the Powhatan chief, Mamanatowic, is just eleven; but in spite of her age, this astute young girl acts with wisdom and compassion, and plays a fateful, peaceful role in the destinies of two peoples. Drawing from the personal journals of John Smith, Joseph Bruchac, winner of the American Book Award for Breaking Silence , reveals an important part of history through the eyes of two historic figures. Review: What I needed - Good condition, on time. Review: As usual Bruhac has done an amazing job. - First book I have read about Pocahontas that goes into detail about her family and culture. As usual Bruhac has done an amazing job.

Boring
Very educational! Filled in wholes left by other books about Jamestown but was VERY boring. My 10yr old hated this book

Pocahontas
A little long and detailed for my 3rd graders and the John Smith parts didn't add much to the story, but we learned a lot.

Great
I think the book was great. It was informational and interesting. Not just another boring biography, you have to read for a school report or essay. I liked the book l, despite the fact I don't like biographies,auto- biographies, or historical books.
