Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare

1984 Newbery Honor

A boy named Matt finished building their new log cabin and his father had to travel in the wilderness to get the rest of the family. A person named Ben took advantage of Matt and Ben stole a lot of the cabin's belongings. So Matt tried to climb to a beehive to get honey for food and the bees were mad. Matt fell into the water to get away from the bees and Indians saved his life. Matt and an Indian named Attean had to both get along with each other.

My opinion about the book was that I thought that the author was creative and I thought that a white many who has to get along with an Indian was interesting. I also thought that it had good vocabulary.

3 stars = It was a good book.
