My Side of the Mountain Trilogy (My Side of the Mountain / On the Far Side of the Mountain / Frightful's Mountain)

I read these as a boy in Iowa, after living in and around the Catskill now for over 30 years it was a great read again especially knowing the area. I would recommend it as a great gift to any young ones.

If you've never read these stories as a child I suggest you do now, and pass them on to your children. These stories are about a young boy who lives alone in the wilderness and survives the forces of nature and its perils. These stories are true classics and if they aren't having your kids read these books in school then I do 100% suggest you do them a favor and buy this for them. I read these in elementary school 30 years ago and loved them. And I bought this volume to share with my young boy who also loved these stories even though he was born in the generation where screens have replaced books. Whether you want to give your children some good, wholesome, and enjoyable literature to read or just want to enjoy these old classics yourself, I promise you will not be disappointed. These stories are true treasures. Get this while it's still in print!

When I was just starting high school (early 1970s) the first book of this trilogy was in the school’s library. I checked it out and found a story that had me living off the land in the wilderness. I probably read that book once a year through high school. I forgot about this book for almost 50 years until someone in a group on Facebook mentioned it. Everything about the book came flooding back to me as I read that post. I searched Amazon and found the book and was extremely intrigued that Jean Craighead George had written two sequels and it was readily available. I gave my grandson the trilogy for Christmas and he is already through the first book. I can’t wait to read the rest of this wonderful story.

Wondering how to get your kids to bed without a fight? Read these kinds of classics, even if they are too young to understand the storyline. Just keep reading until they are asleep. My dad would spend an hour reading us kids book that we liked and then to put us to sleep, he read us books like Treasure Island, Moby Dick, Great Expectations, Harry Potter, A Tale of Two Cities, the Borrowers, My Side of the Mountain, The Federalist Papers...best memories. Thanks, Dad. I love you.

Good

The first book was great so I got this to reread it after several years, however, the second and third parts were not as good. Understandably it is not the products fault, just my taste.

I read the first book as a teen and didn't know there was 2 more books. I enjoyed the read.

They made the first part of this series into a movie in the late sixties or early seventies. My son was around 3 or 4 years old and watched it every day. Fast forward, he's 29 now and we were talking about it around Christmas time. He said that he always thought it was just another show and didn't realize that it was a movie. So when I saw that the book was part of a series, I had to get it for him. Imagine that you're a smart young person, studying science and nature and all you want is to go camping with your family. When the trip gets postponed, you pack up and head out on your own, living off the land, taming wild animals and learning things you couldn't have otherwise.

Ha tardado mucho en llegar, pero el libro está muy bien.

Item as described, safe and quick shipping.

I read this trilogy as a child and bought it to share with my children. It is a great story to interest young readers and I still enjoy it, especially as parent giving it to my children.

Brought the book as a gift to my niece. Haven't actually read the book but 5 star rating is for the book quality which is suoerb and printed in USA. I was little worried of genuineness of the print but when cloudtail is the seller no doubt about it. All the 3 books under trilogy comes in a single hardcover book combined. My suggestion would be to go to goodreads for the content review.

The 1st book is a classic, just as I remember it- the 2nd & 3rd books get a bit preachy about saving birds of prey
