At just 12 years old, Matt must face serious challenges in the Maine wilderness while awaiting his father's return to their cabin.

When he is saved from a terrifying bee swarm attack by an Indian chief and his grandson, Attean, Matt gains a valuable friend in the young Indian boy.

As the boys become closer and learn new skills from each other, Matt must face a heart-wrenching decision when the tribe decides to move north. Is it time for Matt to move on with Attean's tribe and give up hope of his family ever returning?

I have a sone going into fifth grade. He is dyslexic so I wanted a grade and age appropriate book that he could share when discussing summer reading. He loved this book for the adventures of the woods and the relationships of different cultures coming together.
I think I enjoyed it as much as my son.

Whole Family Enjoyed This

great book some were very nice I don’t have any complaints about this book I think if you want to learn/be entertained about how things were back then you should try it but at first ( like most books ) does not seem that entertaining but it’s very entertaining.On top of all of that if you read this you will hear the people in the story talk a lot about how they are separated. But like I said it’s a very good book! You should read it! Also you might not like it this book does not have to be for every one.But try to read it and if your on chapter 11 and you still don’t like it you don’t have to read it.

This book was a very Exciting the first few pages were fantastic and a little funny over all it was a

I couldn’t have loved this book more. The mutual trust and respect that each boy ended up feeling for each other as they went through their individual challenges in their vastly different worlds was beautiful.

Empathy at its finest
