Read Series My Side of the Mountain

1999 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of writer and biologist Jean Craighead George's classic tale My Side of the Mountain, the story of a boy, Sam Gribley, and a peregrine falcon (Frightful) surviving on a mountain together. The story continued in the sequel, On the Far Side of the Mountain, when the falcon was returned to the wild. In a third book, Frightful's Mountain, released in 1999, readers learn about the real-life dangers that face peregrine falcons, told from Frightful's perspective.

Share this series with a child and enjoy the combination of adventure story, ecological mystery and conservation narrative.
