I loved this trilogy because I like the outdoors and falcons. They are a great read because it shows examples of how humans can take care of the earth and keep our beautiful animals safe. It teaches you skills you can use if you get lost; what to eat, how to find shelter; etc. Just a wonderful series.

My Side Of The Mountain is a great book for all ages. If you're thinking of running away definitely take this book with you. If you're want an adventurous book this is a book for you. This book tells you what foods to eat how to make the food and how to train wild animals. This is the kind of book that you probaly won't put down until you're finished with it. So you should read this book.

I have read the first book, and it's wonderful. It gives useful information as well as adventure. It's a great, although easy, read for ALL ages! READ IT!

I found this book originally when I was about 9 years old. It immediately became my favourite book, and to this day, thirty-five years later I still think of it that way. I re-read it about four years ago, in order to make sure I remembered it properly, so that I could feel confident recommending it. I still loved it. This is a great book for young people, and hopefully one that may turn young people on to reading. I'm sorry Annabella C. did not like this book, perhaps she doesn't realize it was written for young people. Oh well. Young boys should love this book, and maybe a lot of young ladies, too. Buy it.

I think this book was great because it was one of the best books I have ever read. It is about a boy, named Sam Gribley. He ran away to live in the Catskill Moutains.
He has some friends, like the Barron weasel, and Jessie C. James, the raccoon. I recommend this book 9-12 year olds!!!

I would recomend this book to readers looking for light adventure. Though it's an adveture I don't think tht it had as much action as it could have. To reach my "5" standard A book must be exiting and thrilling. I enjoy mysteries that keep you on the edge of your seat. On lazy days I enjoy a light reading book such as this, but those days are only the weekends andand thats two sevenths but we won't get into math will we? I think that my younger cousins may like this book, but for older more complicated readers may I suggest White Fang? Still if you want light reading...Here you go!!!

P.S. Sorry if you think that was too much but this isn't my style!

I enjoyed reading this book because, Sam, the main character, likes to try new, non-city related, foods, homes, and clothing. Every detail in the story is fully described. When you read the book, you can clearly picture each setting, and you feel like you are there. I would definately recommend this book to a friend! I'm sorry if you don't like my score.

I like my side of the mountain because like to hunt and be out doors and thats what this book is about. it has excitment,humour and lots of adventure. I think it is a good book to recomed to friends.

These books are the best books I have ever read. They capture your imagination and intrest.
They are about Sam. He runs away from home and has to survive on his own. His sister comes and lives with him and in the third one Frightful, his perigrine falcon gets taken away and it is about her.

I buy this trilogy set for almost all the birthday presents that we give to kids. I even enjoyed reading these books myself and I am 37 ! The audio version of them are excellant for long car trips !
