This is my favorite of Bill Durbin's books and I've read them all. The setting, the characters, the Minnesota winter, this amazing young boy Matt who becomes the man of the family ... it all adds up to a vivid depiction of life when Europeans were making their newfound way in this country.
A Great Read

As a teacher I've read lots of homestead books, but this one is unique in its northwoods setting. The historical details are well researched, and characters and their struggles are depicted in a realistic manner. Adults as well as kids will enjoy this story. I've used THE BROKEN BLADE in my classroom, and I intend to incorporate this one into my curriculum as well.
