My Side of the Mountain

My Side of the Mountain is an excellent book written by Jean Craighead George. George has woven a thrilling tale of adventure, survival, and independence. This book would appeal to any nature lovers or city dwellers who longs to escape their  hectic lives and dive into the forest. The beginning and ending of this book are not quite as spectacular but once you get into the rhythm of the story you won't want to stop reading. Throughout this story the author keeps you interested by introducing new characters, however she always makes sure Sam is the main focus. Ink illustrations and detailed descriptions let you brush up on your survival skills while you read. Live with Sam in his tree hut and learn how he lives on "his side" of the mountain.
~Dr. Seuss
