Weasel: A Gripping Frontier Story About Danger, Justice, and Survival for Children (Ages 8-12)

The book is just as I remember from my childhood. Glad I bought it for my son.

My kids love this book. It is a school list book to read and it tells about frontier life with the Indians. Full of characters and easy read for the kids. Mind read it to me every night until done and I enjoyed listen to the story.A big fan of Allen Eckart and this book fits in many ways for school agers.

Fiction story of life in early pioneer days. Features a young boy, his sister and their adventures in a very dangerous time. Best for older young readers.

Looking for a book with suspense, fear, and adventure lurking in every corner? Well, then, you should read Weasel! My opinion about Weasel is that it's a good book, but not the best I've read. Weasel is about two children, Nathan and Molly, on a search for their father when one day, he's not home. The two siblings encounter many frightful events on the path to their father, such as Indians and the vicious, revolting guy, Weasel. When they finally find their father, he's seriously wounded by Weasel and needs help. Lots of it. One night, Nathan goes looking for his animals, but they're nowhere to be found, at least not alive. Nathan finally realizes that Weasel killed all of them. Who else has Weasel killed? Find out in Weasel!

I read this book every year for 11 years to my fifth grade students . The boys as well as the girls loved the story about territorial growth and Indian relationships. The students hung on every word. And now 15 years later, when I see my grown students, they still talk about this story.

I think this book would really give kids some things to think about. Things are what they are and life goes on.

I first read this book in Elementary school (sometime between 3rd and 5th grade). The story stuck with me so much throughout the years that I had to own a copy. Even in adulthood the story still sticks with me for some reason.

I remember reading this book when I was younger, and I loved it. Some may consider it a little dark for its target audience; but then again, I don't support the infantilizing of America.
