My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. Young Sam Gribley runs away to his Great Grandfathers mountain land to live for a year like Thoreau. He is surviving in the Catskill Mountains with only a penknife, a ball of cord, 40 dollars, and some flint and steel. Along the way, he learns about courage, danger, and independence during his year in the wilderness, a year that will change his life forever. See what adventures await Sam and his new friend Frightful the falcon. Story in voice. (part 1 of 2)
