There's A Place In The Woods For Me!

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: A very engaging and educational (about the wilderness and human-relation) read for the young teenagers (and adults). There's a Sam Gribley in all of us!
Review: This review of Jean Craighead George's book, My Side of the Mountain, is my official entry into hadassahchana's and dramastef's very ambitious and progressive Fight Illiteracy Write Off.

"Let us serenade the conservationists who have...

My Side of the Mountain: Living in the Woods w/o Being There

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2000
Review: I've always been fascinated with those books where people have to live on their own in the wilderness--sometimes they're forced to, or sometimes they have run away. Either way, the person amazingly has a knife in their possession, can eat almost...

My Side of the Mountain: Outdoor Living is a Dream

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: This is a fine way to distract yourself, from the stresses of everyday living in urban areas.
Review: I recently finished Jena Craighead George's classic "My Side of the Mountain," after reading about it in the Washington Post. There are so many books out there, but I am shocked that this was my introduction to a novel written fifty years ago. Mrs...

First Line

  I am on my mountain in a tree home that people have passed without ever knowing I am here. The house is a hemlock tree six feet in diameter, and must be as old as the mountain itself. I came upon it last summer and dug and burned it out until I made a snug cave in the tree I now call home.
