Two years after Sam Gribley first ran away to live off the land, he is still on his own with his Falcon, Frightful. His independent younger sister, Alice, lives in a treehouse of her own nearby. But suddenly Sam's peaceful life is shattered. His falcon is confiscated by a conservation officer, and Alice disappears. To find them, Sam must leave his mountain refuge and track Alice across the Catskills as only he can do. The trail to the far side of the mountain may lead Sam to the two beings that matter most to him -- or it may lead him into grave danger. The sequel to My Side of the Mountain.

Journal Entry 6 by BlueBox-LFL21797 at Wheaton, Maryland USA on Sunday, February 28, 2016
Picked this up at a bookcrossing meetup
Read the first book of this series years ago and remember liking it. Curious about this book.

Released 8 yrs ago (2/29/2016 UTC) at Little Free Library #21797 - Wendell St in Silver Spring, Maryland USA

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

For my own amusement, I am releasing a variety of books with green spines in advance of St Patrick's Day.

Released 6 yrs ago (6/28/2017 UTC) at LFL - Salvation Army #15767 in Washington, District of Columbia USA

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Releasing this book at the LFL in the lobby of Salvation Army on MLK SE

This LFL is in constant need of books for younger readers, which tend to go quickly.

I hope the book will find a reader who enjoys it. I have fond memories of this book (and the previous book My Side of The Mountain) from when I was growing up. It made a fabulous escape fantasy, detailing survival and freedom in a place very different from the city where I was living.
