% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

If you are looking for a gripping wilderness survival tale for your 8-12 year old, My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George is a good choice. The novel was first published in 1959 and in 1960, it was designated a Newbery Honor Book for excellence in young people’s literature.

The story about a 12-year-old boy, Sam Gribley, who leaves life in the city to live by himself in the mountains, is full of adventure. If your kids enjoy it, they’ll be happy to know that George wrote four more books about the adventures of Sam Gribley and the falcon he finds and raises in the first book. Read the review of My Side of the Mountain to learn more.

Introduction

When author Jean Craighead George decided to write a novel about a young boy who chooses to exchange city life for the challenge of living alone in the mountains, she couldn’t have known she’d be inspiring generations of young readers to make a similar choice. In her award-winning book My Side of the Mountain, George immortalizes the story of a young boy’s year-long survival in the natural world and the companionship he finds in a baby falcon. Despite having been written more than fifty years ago, My Side of the Mountain is a classic adventure story about courage, survival, and determination that continues to have modern appeal for young readers.
