Good for reading out loud to children and introducing concepts about Native Americans
While this book is, of course, completely fictionalized, it sounds sort of real to children and is based on a real story behind the characters... Who knows how true it is. I think it is to make us all feel better about Native Americans and Thanksgiving and how it all got started. I read it chapter-by-chapter out loud to my 5-year-old who was learning about the pilgrims and Squanto in kindergarten. She liked it and it got her thinking about history and seeing more than one side of the story which is always good. I would recommend it for those wanting to read something to their kids about the origins of Thanksgiving. Or for young readers (who might think it's kind of cheesy depending on their age).

Fun Read
My son enjoyed this book as part of US history study. Very easy to read for 11 year old. Read in 2 days. Better suited for 8-9 y/o. Still thoroughly enjoyed.

Highly recommended
My son and I read this as part of his school work and I highly recommend it! I don't recall learning about Squanto when I went to school, but now I wish I had and I'm very glad my children will know the story. It's written in an entertaining way that kept my son excited to see what happened next and groaning with disappointment when we had to wait till next week to read the next chapter. :) I recommend this book to anyone who doesn't know Squanto's story and/or who wants to share Squanto's story with a child.
