The True Story of Pocahontas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I give "The Double Life of Pocahontas" five stars. This is a great book. It gives information about the colonists and Native Americans, how they interacted, how they didn't get along, and howw they worked together. This book tells the real story of John Smith and Pocahontas. Their looks, what they did together, how they helped each other, etc. It shows the perspective of both sides. If you saw the Disney movie, and you want to know the truth, read the real story by Jean Fritz. Anyone interested in Pocahontas or needs a good book to read, should read this book A. S. A. P.

The Double Life of Pocahontas was an excellent book. I enjoyed the part when the settlers arrived in Virginia. All of the Natives attacked them. I would suggest this book to good readers of all ages. Jean Fritz did an excellent jod writing the book. She gave many details about the main events. If I were you, I would definatly read The Double Life of Pocahontas.
An excellent book

The Double Life of Pocahontas is, I think, a very interesting book for those who like Indians,wars,and mixed emotion stories. I recommendthis book for people ages 10 and up. I do this because I think anyone under ten might not understand some of the parts of the book. This book as you might of guessed is about Pocahontas and her life. It starts right before the settlers come. Along the way you'll learn some interesting facts about the Indians and the settlers. First Pocahontas saves John Smith from being killed. He's adopted into the tribe. Then John Smith goes back to London. Things then start to fall apart. The Indians attacked the settlers and the colony falls apart. Pocahontas is then captured and is being converted into Christian. Her father never trys to save her. She marries and is taken to England to met the King and Queen. She wants to stay in England. I won't tell you what happens you'll have to find out for yourself. The author,Jean Fritz,did very good research on this book. If I could I would read it again. This book is great read it now!
