Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare

1984 Newbery Honor

Matt's father went to go get his wife and daughter to their new property. He left Matt at home by himself. Around the 4th day, a stranger came and stole Matt's father's prized rifle. Then he meets Saknis and so starts his life teaching Attean (the brother of Saknis) to read. But, Attean mostly teaches Matt how to survive in the wilderness alone.

I think this book was fantastic in its own special way.

3 stars = It was a good book.
