Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare

1984 Newbery Honor

The book is about a boy -- Matt, who is waiting for his dad to come back with the rest of his family. He ends up meeting Indians and making a deal with them -- he would teach Attean -- an Indian boy, because Sakins -- the king of the tribe, had given him supplies. They both start teaching each other things when he starts reading. When his family comes he has things ready for them.

It was entertaining and adventurous.

3 stars = It was a good book.
