| Description: |
Written by Jean Craighead George for ages 9-12, this book is about life in the wilderness with young Sam Gribley. For the last two years he's been living in a hollowed-out tree in the Catskill Mountains, hunting and gathering his food supply and befriending the critters in his "neighborhood." Sam's peaceful existence is shattered when an environmental conservation officer confiscates his peregrine falcon, Frightful. To make matters worse, Sam's sister, Alice, who has been living with him for the past year, has disappeared. This double blow quickly puts Sam on the trail to the far side of his mountain, pursuing a multifaceted mystery. |
