Do you like the wilderness? Well if you do I have the story for you. The title of this fine selection is My Side Of The Mountain. The author of this fantastic book is Jean Craighead George. Get ready to listen so you can hear more about this selection.

            The main character of this story is Sam Gribley. He is a boy who does not want to live in the crowded New York City so he runs away and goes to find his grandfather in the Catskill Mountains but when he gets there, there is nothing there. The setting starts out in New York City and then takes place in the Catskill Mountains.

            As I said, Sam Gribley does not want to live in the crowded New York City so he goes to find his grandfather in the Catskill mountains and when he gets there, there is nothing there so he decides to burn out the inside of a tree to live there. Then he goes and watches people shoot deer so he can eat them. Every day he would carve a notch in the tree so he would know how long he had been there. Then he would write all this in his journal. With only a few things he survived the long journey. At the end his family came to live there and they built a house and lived happily ever after.

            I liked this story because I like the wilderness. I also like to see if people make it with barely any resources. I recommend this to anyone who likes the wilderness. Just take my advice, give this book a try and I know you will like it too!
