Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare

1984 Newbery Honor book

12 year old Matt's father has left him to guard the cabin while he goes into town to fetch his mother, sister, and new baby. Matt meets an Indian boy named Attean who shows him many new ways to live. Eventually the two boys have to part but give each other amazing gifts. Later Matt's parents get home and are very proud of what he did.

3 stars = It was one of the better books I've read.
