1984 Newbery Honor
There is a boy whose dad leaves to get the rest of the family. After a while he met a boy, Attean. Matt had to teach Attean to read white man signs. At the end Attean has to go hunt moose with the rest of the Indians.
I think that this book taught me to be kind to others even if they have different colored skin.
4 stars = It was a great book and I recommend it to others.

Matt was building a cabin with his father. Later on he was attacked by bees and jumped in the pond. He was saved by Indians. The leader said, "White man teach grandson how to read." He followed instructions. Few weeks later, Attean was telling Matt what happened to his family.
I think this book was awesome because of how everybody became friends.
