My Side Of The Mountain Trilogy

Forty years after the publication of My Side of the Mountain, Jean Craighead George has completed the third book in the trilogy about Sam Gribley's adventures, which have captivated generations of readers. These books, now together in one volume, tell a story that begins with a nature-loving boy who runs away from the city to live off the land. His home is a tree; a young peregrine falcon, Frightful, is his hunting partner. Sam's life in the wild continues in On the Far Side of the Mountain, when his energetic younger sister, Alice, comes to share his retreat - and his adventures. The action centers on Frightful, for laws have been passed that declare it illegal to harbor an endangered bird of prey. Sam will do anything for Frightful, but what will happen to her if she is let go to fly free? Can she overcome her longing for Sam and the one tree that was their home?
