My Side of the Mountain

   I have just read the novel, My Side of the Mountain, by Jean Craighead George. The book is about a boy who hates city life so he runs away to the mountains. I chose this book because I heard it was a good book.


  In the novel, a boy named Sam, doesn't like city life with his huge family in his tiny apartment. He one day runs away to live in the mountains. He befriends a falcon and meets many people and animals in the Catskills Mountains. Sam also learns his family history in this great book.


  There aer two things I like about the book. One is I like how Sam knows how to survive. Another thing I like is that Sam likes the animals. There are also two things I dislike. One is I dislike how the city people keep bothering Sam and calling him ''wild boy''. Another thing I dislike is that Sam's family isn't really sad that he's gone. People who are 10-13 years might like this book.I would reccimmed this book to a friend. Guys
and girls would like this book.
