This is a great book so far! it is a lot like hatchet by Gary Paulsen(which was also great). it is about a kid who runs away and lives on his own in a tree and catches his own food with his pet falcon Frightful and makes animal friends. Its great!
This is a really interesting story about a boy who runs away from home to live on a mountain. He learns to survive on his own with hardly any one or anything to help him. He collects his own food, builds his own house, and even makes his own clothes! I enjoyed all the useful survival skills packed away in this book. I also enjoyed the story, which was dramatic and entertaining.
This is a cool story of a boy who runs away to the mountains, lives in a tree, and tames a falcon. It’s a story of survival in the wilderness. He meets some unique individuals along the way. If you like wilderness or survival books, you willl like this novel.
It was a really fun book and it was really interesting how Sam lived in the old farm. I wonder how in the birch journal he knew all the names of the plants that he eats? I plan to read the sequel and the trilogy soon!! I recommend this book to people who like adventure and fun!
I couldn't agree more! This is a good review that definitely hits a lot of points in the book. I will add, however, that Sam did go to the library to learn about all the different plant types so he would be more familiar with the forest.
I loved it I'm still reading it ! It's so in interesting!! I loved it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is amazing and gives real survival tips and tricks!
I LOVED this book! I read it with the best teacher, Mr.M! (McPeak).
