Description

A NEWBERY HONOR BOOK OVER 4 MILLION COPIES SOLD The defining childhood classic about a boy finding his own way in the wilderness—a nostalgic book for readers young and old who have ever wanted to run away from home. “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.

    • Wonderful story for young minds imagining!
Format: Paperback
A classic. And one of my favorites. Read it as a Read Aloud when teaching grade school. Bought this copy for my fifth grade grandson.

    • Great Book for Teaching Children Values.
This is a great book for children, teaching values such as self-reliance, independence, respect for nature, conservation, appreciation of what you have, and perspective. It’s child’s adventure-fiction about a young boy who lives in a hollow tree and learns about nature for a year. I read this book in grade school, when I was about 10. Looking back, the book was strongly influential in my life. This is probably good for ages 9-14. I have given this book as a gift to children many times. ... show more

    • 10 yr old Outdoor Living boy approved
Format: Paperback
Came fast and new. Happy with the order itself. This book is 10 yr old boy friendly. My son who is not an avid reader enjoyed it so much reading it with a group of boys at school he wanted his own to read again. A book that can do that is worth it.

    • A simple, fun book
I was a voracious reader when I was younger but I've gradually fallen out of the habit, and I'm trying to rekindle my love of books. After reading the fantastic Jupiter's Travels by Ted Simon, I wanted a short, simple palate cleanser before I dove into another long book. I bought this book because many people mentioned that they had loved it when they were younger. It's a young adult book so it is a very fast, simple read. The plot is a little idealized, and it shows its age a bit, but overall it's a fun book to read, even for adults. Most importantly, it addresses the yearning for adventure that a lot of us still have. I grew up camping and being in the outdoors, but a lot of the younger generation hasn't been as fortunate. This book will give some of them an idea why going out into the woods and forsaking modern conveniences can be fun. Or, it may just be an interesting story to read. Either way, this book is a winner. ... show more

I loved the honesty of the writing. Sam was definitely the kind of character I root for. I’m eager to read what happens next.

    • Great Book, Great Memories, Great Safe Buy
Format: Paperback
What an amazing story!!! I am 55 years old and read this book when I was about 13 years old while sitting in the back seat of the family station wagon while travelling down the highway on a family summer vacation. It really brought back great memories. My 13 year old son has read it twice and he loves it. Now he wnts to spend more time in the outdoors. He also said he wanted a pet falcon but I had to explain to him that it is actually illegal to capture and own a falcon unless you have a license for it. He then changed his mind to wanting to camp out in the truck of a tree. I had to remind him that we live in Louisiana, and not the Catskill Mountains. LOL. ... show more

    • Classic reading that always leaves me wishing for Sam’s adventure
Format: Kindle
I’m 61 and just finished what is probably my fifth or sixth read of this wonderful book. I love everything about it! The small sketches on some of the pages are so special and feel like Sam did them himself. This reading moved me to reread all of Jean Craighead George’s books and Scott O’Dell’s too. I can’t wait! ... show more
