Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare

1984 Newbery Honor

The book Sign of the Beaver is a very well written book. Matt was a boy who was left alone in the wilderness, while his father goes to get the rest of the family. Later, Matt meets an Indian named Attean. Attean's grandfather wanted Attean to learn how to read. After that Matt lost hope that his father is coming so he thinks about going with Attean, but he stays, and his father came.

I think it was a well written book, but I think the author needs to keep the reader wanting to read more.
