Who's Saying What in Jamestown, Thomas Savage? by Jean Fritz illustrated by Sally Wern Comport*

My nine year old and I read this book aloud together to support our study of Jamestown.
We both enjoyed it.
Ms. Fritz carefully researched recordings about Thomas Savage and used her own imagination to create a compelling story. 
Thomas, a thirteen year old orphan, arrived to Jamestown in 1607.  He was Captain Newport's cabin boy.  Once in Jamestown, he became an interpreter between the colonists and the Powhatans. 
Readers learn about the struggle the colonists experienced as they try to establish a colony and the ongoing disputes with the Powhatans. 
Engaging history!
Lots of illustrations add appeal for reluctant readers.
*Highly recommend.
