Bookroo's summary
Pocahontas, a young girl with a foot in two worlds, faces a heart-wrenching dilemma. As she moves freely between her native culture and the encroaching settlers, she becomes a pawn in a larger game. Her conscience and identity are tested as she is pulled between the life she knows and the new world she is drawn into. Will she find a way to bridge these worlds, or will she be consumed by them? Discover the true story behind the legend, where history and personal struggle collide in a gripping tale of identity and survival.
From the publisher
A complex and fascinating historical figure illuminated by Newbery Honor-winning Jean Fritz. In a story that is as gripping as it is historical, Newbery Honor-winning author Jean Fritz reveals the true life of Pocahontas. Though at first permitted to move freely between the Indian and the white worlds, Pocahontas was eventually torn between her new life and the culture that shaped her. “This book dispels myths and describes with immediacy the life of a girl whose active conscience made her a pawn, exploited by her own people and the white world.” –Publishers Weekly “Jean Fritz removes the romantic varnish from the legend and turns history into engrossing reality.” –The New Yorker
