(  ) lchs.mrso | May 26, 2009 | IT STINK ( ) popeleskir | May 6, 2009 | I was first read "My side of the Mountain" in the 4th grade at Westside School. I still hear Sam's words in the voice of Mrs. Quaid, our teacher. I really liked the book. I thought it was really sad that Sam felt he could leave home because he had so many siblings for his parents to care for. I found the scene where his dad comes to visit very interesting and made me think about my relationship to my own father. I liked the ways Sam made a home in the wilderness, though it is difficult to believe once could find a tree with a large enough circumference to burn out and live in. Some of those srvival skills seemed a bit fake, but it was a good read. I will always appreciate Mrs. Quaid taking the tim and choosing that book to read to us.

| Book description |
|
Jean Craighead George, author of more than 80 children's books, including the Newbery Medal-winning Julie of the Wolves, created another prizewinner with My Side of the Mountain--a Newbery Honor Book, an ALA Notable Book, and a Hans Christian Andersen Award Honor Book. Astonishingly, she wrote its sequel, On the Far Side of the Mountain, 30 years later, and a decade after that penned the final book in the trilogy, Frightful's Mountain, told from the falcon's point of view. George has no doubt shaped generations of young readers with her outdoor adventures of the mind and spirit. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
