 Frightful's babies, a kids review October 12, 2005
It was about falcon poachers and frightfuls babies. When frightful was having her second nest she laid 3 eggs, but on the fifth week poachers dressed as wild life people took two of the babies. And then they found them again at the lodge in the poachers bag. When they found them the other baby that had not been stolen was already grown and when this book finished the baby that was already grown went back to Sam's mountain and looked for a mate. It was really interesting because I got to learn something about birds. I think kids 8 and up should read this book to know something about birds.
 this book deserves 0 stars September 21, 2005

this book was crazy and disturbing. when frightful has to leave, alice and sam go out and find a goshawk because they can't have a falcon. it was really horrible because the parents of the goshawks were all mad and stuff. i hate how frightful is trained to do all that stuff and how she wants to obey sam and stuff. frightful's mountain was a really bad book. don't read it if you are really in to the animals staying in their natural habitat thing.
A great Book September 15, 2005

The book I have chosen is called ''Frightful's Mountain''by Jean Craighead George.This is a good animal adventure book.Sam is a young man who lives in the forest and finds a pergegrine falcon. He names the falcon Frightful and raises her to be able to survive by herself. Frightful has 3 aeries,thats the name for baby falcons.The aerie's have great adventures as they grow up.Although she migrates she always comes back to sam and the forest she knows.
My favorite part of the book was when all the kids and people were helping and trying to save Frightful from the working men. The men were making alot of noise and the children dont want Frightful to be frightened and leave the nest or the aeries.
My least favorite part of the book was when the working men still worked on the bridge and didn't care that they were scaring a peregrine falcon.They were even a little mean when the children told them to stop.
My most favorite character in the book is Frightful.She seems to be a magnificent bird and has great adventures.
I really enjoyed reading about Frightful's falcon friend,chup.She helps him raise his 3 baby peregrine's.I also liked when Frightful ended up in a reserve for birds.I liked how many people would care about falcons and the many other birds.
This book was different from other adventure books because it really taught you how a peregrine falcon lives.By reading this book it makes you feel that if you looked up in a tree,Frightful would be sitting there.
If you enjoy animal books,learning how animals live and adventure books then this book is for you.I really liked it.
After reading this book I had some questions.why would Frightful build her nest on a bridge? Why would Frightfuls daughter attack her?
Read this book because you won't want to put it down.It's a wonderful book!

This is a story about a kid named Sam. He ran away from the city of New York and has been living in the woods eversince. In the early seires it tells how Sam found a young falcon. He names her Frightful and raises her.
Only soon the so called wildlife society discovers that he has the falcon. Your supossed to have a license to own a falcon in these parts. Since he doesn't have one they take Frightful away.
The rest of the story is about the things Frightful does on her way back to Sam after she escapes.to find out more either read another reveiw or better yet read the book!
Enjoy:)

I think this book is good for people that want to learn what a Perigrine Falcon can do over an amount of time. I have read all three of the series. It is a great series and the other books, they are great also.
