My Side of the Mountain Novel
by Jean Craighead George
This is an account of Sam's adventures as he lives alone on his grandfather's mountain for a year. Sam lives in the trunk of a tree, catches and trains a falcon, and makes his own clothing.
Barbara's Notes: Boys and girls alike enjoy this story. The book is much better than the movie. This is a good choice for students who have finished the lower level guides or 5th graders new to TLP. (Grades 4, 5, 6)
