Product Details
Overview
Set in 18th-century Maine, The Sign of the Beaver tells the story of Matt, a 13-year-old boy left to guard his family’s cabin alone. His survival hinges on the friendship he forms with Attean, a Native American boy who teaches him how to live off the land—and challenges Matt’s assumptions along the way.
This Newbery Honor Book is both an exciting survival story and a nuanced tale of cross-cultural friendship and respect. With themes of independence, tradition, and adaptation, it’s a natural companion to colonial history studies.
Perfect for:
- 4th–6th grade ELA and social studies classrooms
- Units on early American life and Native American history
- Survival and wilderness-themed book clubs
- Character-building and empathy-based lessons
