The Sign of the Beaver
The book is about a 13 year-old white boy and a 14 year-old indian. The white boy's name is Matt and the indian's is Attean. Matt and his dad built a cabin and his dad must get the rest of the family so Matt has to stay by himself in the cabin. During this time, Matt had some wonderful adventures. He met the indian boy and his grandpa when he got stung by bees. They became friends and Matt met the rest of Attean's family - his grandma and his sister - and even the tribe members.
At the end his family came to the cabin and found Matt being O.K. The indians left before that knowing more white men would come.
I liked the book because the two boys did a lot of cool stuff together. I also like their friendship.

Chin and Ah Sing were in China Town and Henery was in bed with his dog. His dog kept barking on and on when suddnely the earth sook! His mom and dad were at the door trying to open it but it was jammed. The chimney fell into his parent's room. Henery's dad fetched the crowbar and opened the door. Soon they got out out. The whole street made a bucket bridage to put out the fires. Meanwhile over in China Town Ah Sing and Chin are buried alive. The try to dig and make a tunnel for Chin. Chin gets out and finds Ah Sing's friend- Ah Quon and diggs his father up. The firefighters have run out of water so they made a clearout with nynamite so the fire can't burn anything. Finnaly it all stops.
