Here's the synopsis:
In this book, children learn the story of Pocahontas. Famous for helping maintain peace between the English colonists and Native Americans, this brave Indian woman befriended the settlers at Jamestown, saving the life of their leader, Captain John Smith, whom she later married.I wonder if the synopsis is wrong? Does the book actually have that error in it?

Eek! I don't have a copy of this, but the description on Barnes and Noble is the same - I just left a comment there.
Ugh, *facepalm*
Just say "no" to pretending that the Disney version is even close to correct!
Synopsis is wrong--page 27. That doesn't make this version any better though.
Thanks, Kathryn.
One white guy named John is just like another... isn't it?
Want to bet the author will also neglect to mention her actual name, that she was 12 years old when she met the first John whom she loathed, 17 when she was kidnapped and "reeducated" by the second John, abused, and died alone and in pain a few thousand miles from home?
