In "My Side of the Mountain," thirteen-year-old Sam Gribley leaves his crowded New York City home to live in the Catskill Mountains. Seeking freedom and adventure, he learns to survive in the wild by building a shelter, finding food, and befriending a peregrine falcon named Frightful. Throughout his journey, Sam confronts the challenges of nature, loneliness, and the longing for family. As he adapts to life in the wilderness, he discovers resilience, self-reliance, and a deeper understanding of the world around him. The story beautifully captures the spirit of adventure and the connection between humans and nature. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
