My Side of the Mountain

Jean Craighead George

            The characters in my story are Sam, Frightful, Sam’s family, and Matt. I like Frightful best because she is a hawk that gets food for her and Sam to live off of. The plot of this story is Sam runs away from his family to live in the woods and will have to survive, but he finds different sides of him that he didn’t know of.

            I enjoyed this book. My favorite part was when he finds a hawk nest and grabs a hawk right when the mom comes and somehow escapes. There were a lot of cool parts about the hawk, Frightful. The lesson I learned was to never run away from home. I recommend this book to anyone who likes nature and wild life.
