The Sign of the Beaver

The Sign of the Beaver
by Elizabeth George Speare

I read this children's novel in one sitting as I needed to know it for a class I was teaching. I liked it. It was the story of a pioneer boy left alone to guard the homestead while his father returned east to collect the family.

The boy met up with some Native American's who befriended him. Did the father ever return to see his son and his new home again? You'll have to read it yourself to find out.
