The Sign of the Beaver

Reader reviewed by Amanda from Mrs. Sirek's class

This was a great book. It was about a boy who stays alone in his log cabin for 6 to 7 weeks (that is what he thinks.) But while he was there he meets indians and sees what it is like to be one of them and it isnt easy. Then a whole lot happens like he meets a bear some one steals his rifle his family takes more than 10 weeks to get back and a whole bunch of other things. I hope you like it I did!

This book was a pretty good book ! I enjoyed learning more about the indians, and also how the white men lived. Matt was a very loyal son. Even though Matt wanted to go with the indians he did not,he stayed there. Matt also was brave he stayed all alone in the cabin.
(but he was not alone when the indians were there.)This book was good I would recomend it for people who like historic books.
