Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare

1984 Newbery Honor

Matt's father left Matt at home to go get the rest of his family. While he's home alone he comes across a stranger and some Indians. The Indians turn out to be nice and Attean (an Indian) becomes Matt's friend. He teaches Attean to read, also he reads Robinson Crusoe to Attean. When his Mom and Dad come home he finds out that the baby died after five days.

I liked parts of it but some parts I didn't like. It was a good book.

3 stars = It was a good book.
