//My Side of the Mountain// by Jean Craighead George Amazon

A classic tale of a runaway boy leads to something beyond the eyes can see. When Sam Gribley runs away into the Catskill Mountains because of his unhappiness at home, he is forced to use his extensive wilderness knowledge to keep him alive. However, more and more people figure out about him. What does this mean for Sam and his newfound friend? A new house and fantastically trained falcon and an unbelievable house, things look bright for Sam, but when more and more visitors spot him, trouble peeks its ugly head. How will Sam hold out against a surprisingly powerful force, as well as remaining hidden? A connection I made to this book was when Sam was relying on his food supply to keep him alive. This is extremely similar to me relying on my mother to keep me alive when I was an infant. She supplied me with food, water, and shelter. If you enjoy a steady book that is extremely consistent with its attitude, this is a book you will read for many years to come. This book has plenty of thrills, but it truly is a story of living off love. There is an obvious connection between animal and boy
