Overview of The Sign of the Beaver

The Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare is a children’s historical novel that follows 13-year-old Matt Hallowell, an 18th-century American settler in Maine. After he and his father build a log cabin in the wilderness, Matt goes on many adventures as he is left alone to guard the cabin when his father leaves to retrieve the rest of their family.

While guarding the cabin, Matt learns how to survive in the wilderness with help from an Indian chief’s grandson, Attean, and his family. As Matt questions whether or not his father will return, he is invited to join the Beaver tribe and move north.

This coming-of-age story explores survival in the wilderness, historical themes, cultural differences, nature, and so much more. It is the winner of two Newbery Medals and a Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal.

Awesome Book Studies

We used the Twenty-One Balloons book study and are now starting the Summer of the Monkeys! My kids and I really enjoy these studies! All the extras that come with them really makes it worthwhile! We enjoy unit studies and the fact that we can learn a little geography, Science and history all while reading rich literature is the best! I have purchased a couple others but haven't used them, but we look forward to doing more!
