My Side of the Mountain

"I reread the work of Jean Craighead George, in particular "My Side of the Mountain" and "Julie of the Wolves.""

""My Side of the Mountain" had a massive influence on me, connecting my love of the outdoors with the written word."

""My Side of the Mountain," by Jean Craighead George, where the young protagonist runs away to the Catskills, lives in a hollowed-out tree and tames a bird."
