While I loved this author's books about Pocahontas, I didn't find this book as interesting. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there was more about his time after he came to America.

I really enjoyed this well-researched novel based on the true story of Pochahontas and John Rolfe’s son, Thomas. The publisher included wood-cut-style illustrations that add to the solid storytelling. There are bare-bones descriptions of hunting and other wilderness dangers, but I appreciated that the violence is not encouraged/glorified. Recommended for 8-12 year-olds.

It's not bad for historical fiction. For those who like getting Christian elements, that is definitely present. For those who don't, they weren't so heavy as to distract from the general story. Since I knew nothing about Pocahontas' son - or even that she had one, though I knew she'd married an Englishman who wasn't John Smith - this led me to conduct more historical research on my own. And that is never a bad thing.

Třebaže mám pocit, že ani tato kniha není natolik historicky věrná, jak autorka slibuje, mám z ní mnohem lepší pocit než z prvního dílu. Krásně se to četlo, Thomas mi byl sympatický a Mari Hanes zde už rozhodně tolik neopakuje slova jako v Pocahontas, takže mě při čtení nic nerušilo.
Rozhodla jsem se dát této knize plný počet hvězdiček a kvůli tomu si nakonec oba díly nechám doma, což původně nebylo v plánu.
I kdyby jen k pokračování, určitě se k této knize někdy vrátím. ❤️

Great book! It’s not too long but not too short. Great for relaxed reading. Has very important themes of forgiveness in it.

This is the sequel to 'Pocahontas: True Princess' It's about Pocahontas' son - Thomas Rolfe or Pepsicanough. It's an amazing story. It's based on truth which is really cool! Really easy to read and well written. I've read it a few times :)
