"Should appeal to all rugged individualists who dream of escape to the forest."-The New York Times Book Review
"An extraordinary book It will be read year after year."-The Horn Book
Twelve-year-old Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in his family's crowded New York City apartment. One day-armed with just a penknife, a ball of red cord, forty dollars, some flint and steel, and the clothes on his back-he decides to run away to his grandfather's abandoned farm in the Catskill Mountains, to live in the woods all by himself. There, Sam must rely on his own ingenuity and the resources of the great outdoors to survive, as he discovers a side of himself he never knew existed.
Teeming with hope, adventure, and a deep search for identity, My Side of the Mountain is a timeless classic for readers of all ages who have ever wondered what it would be like to live off the land.
