From Amazon.com

Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going--all the way to the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. There he sets up house in a huge hollowed-out tree, with a falcon and a weasel for companions and his wits as his tool for survival. In a spellbinding, touching, funny account, Sam learns to live off the land, and grows up a little in the process. Blizzards, hunters, loneliness, and fear all battle to drive Sam back to city life. But his desire for freedom, independence, and adventure is stronger. No reader will be immune to the compulsion to go right out and start whittling fishhooks and befriending raccoons.

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 --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

Book Description

Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in New York City with his family, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountains to live in the woods-all by himself. With only a penknife, a ball of cord, forty dollars, and some flint and steel, he intends to survive on his own. Sam learns about courage, danger, and independence during his year in the wilderness, a year that changes his life forever.

"An extraordinary book . . . It will be read year after year."
-The Horn Book --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

Ce commentaire est de: My Side Of The Mountain (Paperback)
Written by Gene Craighead George, My Side of the Mountain explores one boy's quest for peace and quiet and his realization of what it means to be alone. An adolescent boy, Sam, escapes the chaos of his family's crowded New York apartment. Sam runs away, to the Catskill Mountains in search of space and independence. Sam feels like a free man up in the mountains. He learns to live off the land. He manages to ward off reporters, tourists, and hikers, so that he may preserve his secret living quarters. Sam faces many hardships, but his determination, to live on his own, helps him persevere. Through his interaction with neighboring animals and his friendship with his pet falcon, Sam survives hardships on the lonely mountain. Sam is content with his life in the mountains, but he realizes that he misses human conversation.

This interesting and exciting book shows Sam's journey away from his fellow humans and his need to be amongst them again. Sam's great journey is inspiring to anyone who has ever just wanted to escape for a while. The plot is developed through Sam's struggle to survive nature and his inner conflicts.

I recommend this book to people of all ages. I believe this story appeals to children because of the adventure and excitement of running away to an unknown place. Adults will find it appealing because they understand the need to be away from the chaos of crowds and cities to find a haven of peace and quiet. Our hectic lifestyles help us relate to Sam's desire for simplicity.

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: My Side Of The Mountain (Paperback)
Upon first reading this book as a child, I simply loved it! The thought of living off nature is pure glee to me. Sam Gribly does something any youth wishes for: independance. While the author portrays Sam's independence through running away and living in a forest, there are many ways in which a youth can achieve it.

Some say this book is far-fetched and silly, however, is it any sillier than Harry Potter? or any other fiction book? It is a story, a very good one at that.

The way Sam lives and takes care of himself is purely wonderful. I recommend this story to all.

Par Ali (Collierville, TN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: My Side Of The Mountain (Paperback)
Sam Gribley is living in a New York City apartment during the 1960s and is tired of it. He runs away to the Catskill Mountains to have a life of his own. He must rely on his own ingenuity and on the resources of the land to survive. And survive he does. This is Sam's facinating story of his life in the wild and what he learns about the wilderness and himself in the process.
