 My Side of the Mountain 1959 August 15, 2007
Plot Kernel - A young boy runs off to live in the Catskill Mountain wilderness, taking nothing but a penknife, a ball of cord, an axe, $40, and some flint and steel. He fashions a home within a standing hemlock tree, makes clothing out of animal skins, and eats only what he can catch or harvest from the Earth. He trains a falcon to hunt, and lives with it for an entire year.

This was a good book, in my opinion. My favorite part was in the middle, when Sam has just survived his first winter in the Catskills. It was very good when he had just realized that he could survive alone in the forest wthout aid.

My Side of the Mountain is a thrilling cliffhanger. I loved the end of each chapter it left you felling happiness or surprised. But especially thinking about the chapter you just read. It had very descriptive writing. Jean Craighead George is a great descriptive writer. I would recommend this book to every single one of my friends. It is a terrific book. I give it FIVE STARS!!!

This book was awesome! Sam did what every kid wishes they could do. He ran away and lived in the woods. He got a pet and made some friends, including a weasel and a racoon. Sam Gribbly is the hero of most american kids. I recommend this book to anyone who can appreciate a good book.
no plot, but an interesting guide to the wilderness May 5, 2007

It's kind of Walden for kids, as a young boy sets out to live in the wilderness and simplify his life by enjoying nature and escaping civilization. It sounds weird, and plot-wise, it doesn't make a lot of sense. But it's still a lovely and interesting book about survival and nature in the Catskills. Grade: B
