Sign of the Beaver (The) Novel
by Elizabeth George Speare
Too many months have passed and Matt's family still hasn't returned. Should he join the Beaver tribe heading north, or try to survive the coming winter alone?
Barbara's Notes: I like how the author portrays Matt's weaknesses as well as his strengths. The story has plenty of adventure, but remains gentle enough for sensitive readers. (Grades 3, 4, 5, 6)
