[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Sign of the Beaver - Newberry winner about a 13 YO boy alone in the wilderness is one of the best books I read as a kid.

Book description: 
When Matt's father leaves him on his own to guard their new cabin in the wilderness, Matt is scared but determined to be brave and prove that he can take care of himself. And things are going fine until a white stranger steals his gun, leaving Matt defenseless and unable to hunt for his food. Then Matt meets Attean, a Native boy from the Beaver tribe, and soon learns that people called the land around him home long before the white settlers ever arrived. As Attean teaches him more about his own culture, Matt must come to terms with what the changing frontier really means.

PS - OP I completely understand where you are coming from [b]as a father of boys. Pretty much all forms of media  seem aimed at boosting girls these days.[/b][/quote]

As the parent of teenage boys, I find assertions like this absolutely bonkers.[/quote]
