Only after meeting the proud, resourceful Indian boy Attean does Matt begin to understand the way of the Beaver clan and their growing problem in adapting to the white man and the changing frontier.

    15 years later, this book stuck with me.

    I read this book in the fifth grade. I've since moved on to middle school, high school, college, and now I'm working on my PhD. This book stuck with me as one of the highlights of the fifth grade. I absolutely loved it at the time, and I'm buying a copy now so I can read it over and over again. Matt and Attean's relationship was interesting, and I'm sure that and the cultural diversity aspect was why they made us read it, but most of all I loved the survival aspect of it. I thought it was awesome to see how the Native Americans lived and survived day to day and some of the clever things they did to get by. Even though it is fiction, it's realistic historical fiction, but not the boring kind. I really liked and identified with Matt too (even though I'm female) and he was remembered years later as someone I admired. This book was really fun to read, and I would recommend it to anyone, young or old.

    Encourage a student to read this book

    I have used this book for many years in my 4th grade reading class. It is seldom a book they will pick up on their own, but after the first chapter they are hooked and they love it. We have amazing dicusssions about friendship and trust. This book is a great story of a developing friendship between a Native American boy and a settler boy. The settler boy, Matt is left alone in the wilderness and only survives with the help of Attean, a Navie American boy. Several parents also read this book along with us, and they always surprised by how much they like it as well. Due to a early publishing date, words like "squaw" are used that I don't really encourage, but that is about the only thing I don't like about this story. A students should be a proficient reader to read it independently. Elizabeth George Speare deserves the awards she has won for this book and others. For older readers, The Witch of Blackbird Pond is also terrific.

    Amazing!

    I just finished the book and it was amazing! The day my class finished the book, the teacher gave us a "essay" about which was our favorite book, Esperanza Rising or Sign of the Beaver, and of course, Sign of the Beaver!
