Yes,I did like the book. This book should be every kids favorite. And last,my favorite animal is Frightful the falcon. Having a pet falcon would be great or even maybe awesome, but think about what your parents would say!

I like Frightful because she seems like a fun animal and because I would like a bird. I like the book because there are many adventures in the book, like Sam climing a cliff to get Frightful's egg.

I like Sam because he whittles wood, eats about anything, and has a pet falcon that's named Frightful. I like when Sam went fishing because Sam caught six trout.

I liked the book even the ending I thought was cool. I think this book should be in every kids closet. People should have this book because you may feel like your in a fairy tale and you may feel like your Sam.Also, I think Sam's parents are very nce to Sam because my parents would have brought me home. Here is a question you should think about why do yo think the auther chosed a boy for main charater? Why do you think she had a family of 11 people.

I loved the book. My favorite part is when Sam made recipes. It was cool how he made the food. My least favorite part was when Matt didn't right down what Sam said. My favorite character was The Baron. It was cool how he made himself turn white. Yes I would have somebody because it is about the wilderness. It would be a good book if somebody liked the wilderness. Mitchell M.

This is a great book. You should read it. It's about a boy who ran away. He lived with a family of 11 people. The boy's name is Sam. He ran away to live in the wilderness. He knows how to cook. I bet his food is GREAT.

My Side of The Mountain is great. You should read it in third grade. Oh I forgot it may be to high in your reading level. It is 5.2 reading level. It would be good for your 10 points. It's 6.0 points. So if you love the wilderness you should read it. Mitchell
