by Jean Craighead George, Newbery Award Winning Author
In 1959, Jean Craighead George published My Side of the Mountain. This coming-of-age story about a boy and his falcon went on to win a Newbery Honor, and for the past forty years has enthralled and entertained generations of would-be Sam Gribleys. The two books that followed--On the Far Side of the Mountain and Frightful's Mountain--were equally extraordinary. Now all three books are available in one deluxe yet affordable volume for veteran devotees and brand-new fans alike.
The first book in the trilogy could suit some mature readers already 8 or 9 years and up. The complete trilogy is recommended for readers 10 years and up.
Hardcover, 640 pages.
Dutton Books for Young Readers.
Printed in the United States.
