(4) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. This story of the fourteen-year-old Pocasset Indian who was a key figure in King Philip's War is presented as her "thinking" diary (she wouldn't have known how to read or write) and based completely on conjecture. Weetamoo's entries feature interesting details of her daily life and native rituals. Extensive back matter provides genealogy and history and offers what little information is actually known about Weetamoo. Glos.
