Book Review (Finally!)

Okay, I am going to write a book review on one of my favorite books.

My Side Of The Mountain by Jean Craighead George

My side of the mountain is a book about how a 12 year old boy (Sam Gribley) leaves his home to go live on his great-grandfather Gribley's land. (His Grandfather has been dead for a long time and he lived in the Catskill Mountains.) The child loves his family but does not like living in New York City. He goes with a ball of string, a penknife, an ax, and 40 dollars. He finds his way ad finds his grandfather Gribleys land. He tries to survive on the land using only the things he broght. He learns to make a fire and cath fish, and how to tell what things (such as berries and plants) are good to eat.This is the first of 3 books in the series. On the Far Side Of The Mountain and Frightful's Mountain are the remaining 2 books. I loved this book and Highly reccomend it.

By the way, I will be writing more book reports soon!
