The Sign Of The Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare
Left alone to guard his family’s frontier cabin in the Maine wilderness, a twelve-year-old boy struggles to survive until a Native American elder and his grandson, Attean, begin teaching him essential skills. Through shared hunts, stories, and trials, he and Attean build a wary respect that deepens into friendship, pushing him to confront prejudice and loneliness. When the tribe prepares to move on and his family’s return remains uncertain, he must choose between joining his new friends or keeping faith with his promise to wait, marking his passage into maturity.
