A NEWBERY HONOR BOOK • OVER 4 MILLION COPIES SOLD • The defining childhood classic about a boy finding his own way in the wilderness—a nostalgic book for readers young and old who have ever wanted to run away from home.

“Should appeal to all rugged individualists who dream of escape to the forest.”—The New York Times Book Review

“An extraordinary book… It will be read year after year.”—The Horn Book

Twelve-year-old Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in his family’s crowded New York City apartment. One day—armed with just a penknife, a ball of red cord, forty dollars, some flint and steel, and the clothes on his back—he decides to run away to his grandfather’s abandoned farm in the Catskill Mountains, to live in the woods all by himself. There, Sam must rely on his own ingenuity and the resources of the great outdoors to survive, as he discovers a side of himself he never knew existed.

Teeming with hope, adventure, and a deep search for identity, My Side of the Mountain is a timeless classic for readers of all ages who have ever wondered what it would be like to live off the land.

“Seguramente le gustará a todos los vigorosos jóvenes individualistas que sueñan con escaparse al bosque”.—The New York Times Book Review

“Un libro extraordinario . . . Se disfrutará de su lectura año tras año, uniendo de esa forma a muchas generaciones en una cadena de inolvidable júbilo y placer”.—The Horn Book, reseña original

“…más de un cuarto de siglo después, la prosa de Jean Craighead George continúa fluyendo tan nítida, ágil y encantadoramente como un arroyuelo de los Catskills, atrayendo a nuevos lectores a experimentar sus ‘asombrosos regocijos'”.—The Horn Book, 1989

“Jean George es una excelente naturalista y los detalles, escritos en forma de diarios llevados por el mismo Sam, son totalmente verosímiles y fascinantes . . . Este competente ‘joven Thoreau’ es un chico que seguramente llamará la atención al Robinson Crusoe que todos llevamos dentro”.—New York Herald-Tribute Book Review
