Left alone to guard the family’s wilderness cabin in 18th-century Maine while his father fetches the rest of the family, twelve-year-old Matt faces starvation, a bear attack, and the theft of his gun — until the local Penobscot chief and his grandson Attean offer a remarkable exchange: food and survival skills in return for reading lessons. A Newbery Honor Book.

Boys witness the power of mutual respect across difference as Matt and Attean teach each other what the other most needs to know. This book shows boys that true strength means being willing to both teach and learn — and that the best friendships are built on honesty, respect, and seeing another person clearly.
