In this Newbery Honor Book, a thirteen-year-old boy struggles to
survive on his own in the wilderness of eighteenth-century Maine.
When Matt's father leaves him on his own to guard their new cabin
in the wilderness, Matt is scared but determined to be brave and
prove that he can take care of himself. And things are going fine
until a white stranger steals his gun, leaving Matt defenseless and
unable to hunt for his food. Then Matt meets Attean, a Native boy
from the Beaver tribe, and soon learns that people called the land
around him home long before the white settlers ever arrived. As
Attean teaches him more about his own culture, Matt must come to
terms with what the changing frontier really means. Now with an
introduction by critically acclaimed writer Joseph Bruchac about
the historical context and the relationships between Native peoples
and white settlers in the eighteenth century.
