• Definitely Fiction 08 February, 2007
This was the only book on our (homeschool) reading list about Pocahontas but we simply couldn't get past Chapter 4 (though I read the rest myself). My son usually begs me to read more, but with this book he begged me to stop reading altogether.
The historical inaccuracies are blatant and the book isn't even well-written. If you do read it, do so knowing that it is out and out fiction and nothing else. Better yet, watch the Disney movie. It's almost as historically accurate and much more enjoyable.

• Pocohantas: We Wish There Was A Sequel 09 October, 2005
This is the third time we are reading this book...in a row! My 8 year-old devoured it; I couldn't put it down; now my 6 year old is reading a chapter or two aloud to my 5 year old each time we drive in the car.
Bulla does a tremendous job spinning a tale out of the few historical facts we know of Pocohantas. This story explores the feelings of Pocohantas (the book is somewhat told from her perspective) from her curiosity in the beginning over whether or not white men really exist to the very real dangers she faces and the disappointments she experiences. The story races from one dramatic conflict to the next: espionage, self-sacrifice, kidnapping, war, love, family ties, cultural differences, trust and friendship: it's all here.
Even non-motivated readers will be so caught up in the excitement they unknowingly will learn some history along the way!

• I Loved This Book! 04 December, 2003
This was a great book. It was full of action. For example, when Powhatan gets angry with John Smith for stealing food for the colonists, the author really creates a sense of danger and imminent war. Pocahontas is a great character and is portrayed as a kind person. I reccommend this book to people who enjoy historical fiction.

• A Really, Really, Really Good Book - A Kid Review 15 December, 2004
I really liked Pocahontas and the Strangers because she saved the bald eagle and Captain John Smith. Too bad that Pocahontas died because she didn't get to go back home. I liked this book better than the movie.
