 My Side of the Mountain Trilogy March 28, 2008
I read this book as a child. Reading this book as an adult brought the inner child back to life. I think everyone thinks of ditching society one time or another. I don't think I could live on Sam's diet or live in the hollow of a tree in real life, but through out the story you feel as if you did. Very few books today can actually make you feel a part of the story. The book also tells which plants are edible in the wild. This book should be recommended for every child to read. So much to learn in it about nature, falcons, plants, and survival itself. Great book.
excellent January 18, 2008
this is an excellent story about a boys' survival on his own and his relationship with animals and the environment. I have been reading these to my 8 year old son and he loves them. He wants to be a falconer when he grows up!
I bought this for my 23 year old son for Christmas...... January 13, 2008
he used to watch the original movie when he was a kid, over and over again. He's been away from home for a few years, working on a ski slope in CO, so I wanted to send him a bit of 'home'. I know it's a kid's book, but he said he really enjoyed it, and has read it several times. It brought back lots of memories. It's been a story that has stayed with our family for almost 20 years now!
I loved the first book as a kid December 18, 2007
I loved this book as a kid. I hope my nephew's love it too. Can't wait for them to finish it so I can reread the first book and read the other
two.. Thanks for the fast shipping. Your awesome

As former wildlife rehabilitators of birds of prey, my wife & I now retirement age, completely enjoyed the narative and are amazed at the the accuracy and depth of JCG's facts. Truely a heart warming trilogy in todays not so warm world. JCG has been given a great gift to combine depth of knowledge and story telling. We are fans of hers and now have read many of her books.
I mentioned this book to the very best rehabber we know & she was so happy to have the title as she had forgotten it & read it when she was 11. Said today it has influenced her life ever since, a very highly educated abd sophisticated woman who lives in the woods. As a child, her father would drop them off in the Adirondack woods, with meger supplies, a section map etc, and then pick them up at a pre-arranged spot 3 or more days later. This went on till she was sixteen. Now she will purchase & pass this trilogy on to her grandson. Ractions from others to whom I have introduced this series include, from a VP of a multi billion corp. who was fascinated with it, finished it quickly and gave it to the son of his "Boss" and wants his report back. etc etc.
