a book i loved as a kid
My Side of the Mountain
I don't recall reading the trilogy but I remember this story with fondness. I recently told a friend that it was called "The Other Side of the Mountain." I was wrong--silly me! For a good plot summary, wikipedia has all the information.
Synopsis
In 1959, Jean Craighead George published My Side of the Mountain. This coming-of-age story about a boy and his falcon went on to win a Newbery Honor, and for the past forty years has enthralled and entertained generations of would-be Sam Gribleys. The two books that followed—On the Far Side of the Mountain and Frightful's Mountain—were equally extraordinary.
Wikipedia has more information on this book and the corresponding film.
