This sounds like one realy good book..but im more into fanticy than poeple thinking about runing away from life
I loved this book at a time when my ordinary life seemed quite confining. He takes a journey for himself, tests himself in nature, enjoys days upon days of listening to the sounds & the silence, observing wildlife, and season changes. One may end up in a city again, but don't you ever long for a few days away from all these gadgets, and schedules, and useless frantic rushing?
Great book. I loved it. I plan on rereading it soon. Once again, GREAT BOOK!
I finished My Side of the Mountain it’s about a boy who runs to the forest. I liked this book it was a good book. I like the part when Sam gets a falcon and calls her Frightful. Also when Sam has a Halloween party and all the squirrels mess up his stump. He made clothes with skins of animals and the needle is a bone. Sam’s house is in a tree. He burns the tree stump and the room is big. Sam runs away from New York so he loves the more roomier space. I don’t think I could live in the forest because I would be too sad to kill the animals.

Great book. Did ya see that? It is a period! I mean it I wasn't planning on it being so good!
My school library had it and Frightful's mountain (which I am reading now and am almost done with) not knowing there is a second! I think I am going to quit reading it if my local public libary has it and read Frightful's Mountain from the point I left off at.
I think I read this as a kid but heck if I can remember it. Going to have to re-read it.
I've read this book two times a year since I was 9, so about 17 years now. After 34 reads, this book is still one I sit down and read in one sitting. I wish I could find a book just like this one.. the second book, Other Side of the Mountain, was too preachy and didn't have the same magic as the first.
this is a really,really good book i would like to read the second book
It made me want to do what he did says Sam.
