ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN

George's remarkable novels feature the wilderness adventures of young Sam Gribley and his falcon, Frightful. Sam leaves home to fend for himself in the Catskill Mountains where he depends on his wits for survival. In the second book, Sam's sister joins him, and his falcon is confiscated by a conservation officer. The concluding novel is written from the perspective of Frightful, as she learns to depend on her own instincts. In this sequel to 'My Side of the Mountain', Sam's peaceful life is shattered as he hikes across the Catskills in search of his beloved falcon.
