Harley's Reviews > The Sign of the Beaver

My nine-year-old daughter was assigned this book in her advanced reading class so I read it as well. The story is about the developing relationship of two young boys from different backgrounds and cultures. They each must overcome their perceptions and prejudices about the other. Set in the American past, the book explores the relationship of European settlers and native Americans. I would recommend that you read this book with your children and discuss how it applies to our lives today.
