Review of 'The sign of the beaver' on 'Goodreads'

This was a sweet book for teaching empathy, it is about a boy of ten or so in recently settled Maine who is left alone in a desolate cabin for a summer while his dad runs an errand.. he befriends a few Indians and they help him survive, and he learns that his own people are, of course, not so very nice to the natives.
