Lush, colorful, dynamic. Yes, that's one way we may describe the "new world" of the first colonial settlers, but it's also how one could describe this graphic novel retelling of Pocahontas's encounter and eventual involvement with the settlers of Jamestown. This story is fully and comfortably centered on the heroine that is Pocahontas, in her slow maturity as a member of her people, of her obsessions and support of the white settlers, and of her eventual abandonment of her known way of life. Locatelli-Kournwsky illustrates this novel with fluid grace--penwork that is as magical and alive as the forests that Pocahontas runs through. Pocahontas really delves into the titular character, exploring issues such as otherness with artistic refinement. A brilliantly executed piece of historical fiction.
