Librarianjk recommends My Side of the Mountain




My Side of the Mountain
by Jean Craighead George

Summary: A young boy relates his adventures during the year he spends living alone in the Catskill Mountains including his struggle for survival, his dependence on nature, his animal friends, and his ultimate realization that he needs human companionship.

I recommend this book to fans of survival stories and young people who dream of running away. I read this book when I was in grade school. I am not a huge fan of survival stories, but I remember this book was very popular among the boys in my class.

Interest Level: grades 4-6, grades 7-8
Reading Level: grade 7
