I just read this book and it is really good. Go check it out at the library!
I pretended I was Matt from the book and wrote a diary entry. I hope you like it.
Dear Diary,
I had a hard day today doing my chores. After everything was done, I had a chance to think about my friend Attean and all the things he taught me. Attean taught me useful things about getting food, making clothes, and finding shelter.
Thanks to Attean, I never have to be hungry again. He taught me to catch small animals with snares. I was very bad at first. But I kept trying and now my snares work! He also taught me how to make a hook out of wood. This makes catching fish much easier. I never have to worry about losing a hook because I can always make another one.
I am so proud of the hat I made. I never would have been able to do it if Attean hadn’t taken me to the Indian camp. I watched the squaws scraping skins and then using them to make things. The hat is so warm. I also saw they sewed with needles. It took me a while but I figured out how to make one with an old bone, just like theirs. Sewing the hat was hard work, but I did it.
Attean also taught me how to protect myself in a rainstorm. You have to get a certain leaf and make a cone above you. It will protect you from the rain like an umbrella.
I learned a lot from Attean. I am going to miss him when he goes hunting and finds a new camp.
