A Newberry Medal Honor book, My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George tells the story of 14 year old Sam Gribley who leaves his crowded home in New York City to live on his great-grandfather’s abandoned farm. While living in the forest around the ruins of the old farm, Sam learns about survival and independence and makes friends with the wildlife he observes. Sam loves his self-sufficient life in the wilderness, but as he grows and matures he also comes to understand the value of companionship.
