Who's Saying What in Jamestown, Thomas Savage? by Jean Fritz was published in time to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement.  She follows the life of young Thomas Savage who comes to Jamestown and lives with the Indians to learn their language. Pocahontas teaches him and he becomes an interpreter until trouble arises between the Colonists and Indians.  He is torn and doesn't want to choose sides.  What will he do?  Jean Fritz has several historical books for children.  Social Studies teachers could use this book in class when learning about Jamestown.
