The Sign of the Beaver was an extremely well written book that made you feel like you where there! It made you see the log cabin, and the corn patch and the forest all around the house. I absolutely loved it.

The Sign of the Beaver took place in the 1700s, and is about a boy named Matt, living in a forest in Main. He and his father went out into the forest, and made a new log cabin, planted corn and his father left Matt there to watch the cabin while he went to get his family. Now he is waiting for his father to return from Quincy with his mother, sister and the new baby. But what he found in the forest he would never forget.

He found Indians, ducks, beavers and even a bear! He planted corn and pumpkins for the winter. If you like hunting, fishing, exploring and nature, this is the book for you! You will especially like how he makes traps, snares, and fishing hooks.

I loved this book so much that I read it in two days! I just could not put it down.
I would recommend this book for kids 11 and up. I also give this book four stars out of five.
