Speare, E. G., (1984). The sign of the beaver. New York: Random House.
Grades 5-8. Historical Fiction.

Grown-up responsibilities weigh on 12 year on Matt. Should he stay alone in the wild or join the safety of the Beaver tribe, leaving his family. Full of man versus nature and acceptance of others, this is a must read for intermediate students.

Newbery Honor Award
Available on CD/ Random House Audio

This is one of my favorites. I think it would be a good one to try with an advanced literature circle group. Your blog is gorgeous!
