Book Reviews of On the Far Side of the Mountain
Book Review: A great adventurous book.
Summary: 4 Stars
On the Far Side of the Mountain is a great book. It's about a boy named Sam Gribley who lives in the wilderness in his tree home. During the few years he was here, he learned how to build so many devices involving the brook that flows through his mountain. Everything is great, until a few days later Frightful, his pet falcon, gets confiscated, and his little sister, Alice, runs away. Half this book involves Sam and his friend Bando looking for Alice. Since she thought that they might look for her, she gives them clues along the way. Once they find her, there's tons of suprises awaiting them.
I decided to read this book because I read the prequel, My Side of the Mountain. However, On the Far Side of the Mountain is a much more adventurous story. This book has tons of adventure with crooks, and birds, and getting away from danger. You can learn a lot, too.
I think wilderness guys would love this book. So read On the Far Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George

Book Review: One great book
Summary: 4 Stars
On the Far Side of the Mountain is an excellent sequal to My side of the Mountain. It is about a boy named Sam Gribley who runs away from New York City to live on his own in the Catskill Mountains. He lived there for over two years before his family came to live with him. After finding out the land was unsuitable for farming, the whole family leaves except for Sam and his sister Alice. Alice makes herself at home. One day she's gone but she leaves clues about where she's headed. Sam and his friend Bando track her so they can check up on her. The book explains their tactics and treks.I first came upon this book about a month ago. My english teacher knew I had read the first book in the series so she recomended that I read the second one. I read the book in class and it turned out to be just about as good as the first one.
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 4 Stars
On The Far Side of The Mountain by Jean Craighead George is an amazing book and has all of the right ingredients for a suspenseful survival novel. The main character, Sam Gribley, has run away from home and been living in the Catskill mountains for a year or so now. It is amazing how he uses nature to make things for every day living. His main food provider, a falcon named Frightful, has been taken away for legal issues. Without his falcon Sam is left to fend for himself.
To find out what happens, read this great book that will keep you wanting to read more.
I highly recommend this book for all ages, it is a classic!
Book Review: katy13 says, "This book was GGRRREEEAATTT!!!"
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book what with all of the adventure and still giving you information on what you can eat in the wilderness. I wouls love to be sam. There should be a lot more than three books in the series. If you would like a place where you can just be you and be free stick your nose into this book and it just might never come out. The one and only thing I would have changed is the book should have been longer. The worst part of the book is when it ends. -katy13
