In the book Frightful's Mountain Sam's sister Alice frees Frightful from some mean people, but then Frightful gets lost trying to find Sam. While Frightful is hunting for food all of a sudden a male Falcon named Chup shows up and starts to show off by swooping upside down, Frightful mates with Chup and has three babies, Lady, Duchess, and Drum. Lady, Duchess, and Drum grow and learn to hunt by practicing on Frightful and Chup. Later in the story it's migrating season so all the birds go South to a hotter place but Frightful didn't migrate because she has survived through winter wit Sam before. Frightful has no food so she goes to find her hunting partner Mole the dog, when Frightful got there, Mole wasn't there and neither was the owner, So Frightful flies to a nearby house and sees Mole limping and bleeding and Mole had food! Usually Mole shares food with Frightful but this time Mole just snarled at her, Then two men with a net came out of the house and caught Frightful, they took Frightful inside and Frightful wiggled around until she was free at last, Frightful flew out of the house and saw a nearby telephone wire and went to land on it, the telephone wire shocked and burned her, Frightful fell to the ground, a nice man was walking near by and went to pick Frightful up, her feathers were burnt and she was shocked, she was almost dead but that's not the end so you'll have to read it to find out what happens. Peace out ya'll, Sayonara, Bye,Bye.

Frightful is the third book of the series My Side of the Mountain. In the begining Sams sister Alice frees Frightful from mean people. She is lost trying to find Sam Gribly. She is hunting for food when all a sudden a male falcon shows off by swooping upside down and touching her talons. She mates with him{Chup} who had a mate because three nestlings are in the nest. Lady,Duchess and Drum. Two males and one female. Then they grow up and try to hunt by themselves by practicing on Frightful and Chup. They can not handle them practicing on them so they both sleep in two different places. Later on in the story it is migrating season so all the birds went southward to a warmer place so they could survive with food. Frightful did not migreate because she had stayed with Sam the whole year round in the same places. She has no food so she goes to find her hunting pal who is a dog named Mole. She gets to the house but no dog no owner. She flies to a house she sees and lands nearby and sees Mole coming towards the steps bleeding and limping. She sees food he usualy shared but he snarled at her. Frightful saw Duchess by the house. Two men who probably caught Duchess came outside with a net they captured birds showed them to people and hurt the bids after. The net was to capture, and they were going to capture Frightful. They captured Frightful and went in the house Frightful wiggle until she was free at last. She saw a nearby telephone wire and landed on it to purch she got shocked and burned. She fell all the way down to the grouned. An nice man came by saw Frightful and picked her up. Her feathers were burnt on the edges and she was shocked. The man held her. Frightful was dead. This is not the end so the peolple who read this you will need to read the rest of Frightful's Mountain

I did this book for a book review at my school and LOVED IT! I couldn't put it down. It is beautifully written with the bird's point of view mixed in. Soon after i finished it, i gave it to my brother and it became overdue from the library because he was still reading it! My brother and I agree that it is an exciting and touching book. We reccomend it to you!

Frightful's Mountain is the whole new way of looking through a bird's eye. When Frightful is taken away from Sam Gribley, she is out on her own and taking chances. She will go at any risk to find the one mountain among the millions, the one tree among the millions, and Sam Gribley.
This is one capturing book, hard to put down, here's why. January 27, 2000

The third book in Jean Craighead Georges series begining with MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTIAN, followed by ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOUNTIAN, is just as encapturing as her other books.Sam Gribly is a boy who grows up living off the land, and Frightul is his trained peregrine falcon who will always stay close to his heart. Sam learns that it is illegal to harbor an endangered bird of prey, and Frightful is taken by two men posing as state game wardens. However, they are really bird kidmappers. Fortunately Alice, Sam's sister, soons finds and frees Fightful. But Frightful isn't prepared to be a wild bird. She has never had to feed herself, does not know how to mate, brood chicks, or migrate in the winter. Can she survive the many dangers that await her in the wild, esspecially power lines? Will she ever be reunited with Sam? If this sounds interesting to you, then read all about her exciting adventures and find out what happens in the end!
