FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Jean Fritz removes the romantic varnish from (the Pocahontas) legend and turns history into engrossing reality".--The New Yorker. Boston Globe/Horn Book Award; ALA Notable Children's Book.
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
This real story of a woman caught between two cultures may be very useful to counter the current Disney version of her life. Pocahontas as readers learn was exploited by her own people as well as her friends in the "white" world. Award winning author, Fritz, has an knack for presenting historical facts in an engaging and informative way.
