My Side of the Mountain

Sam Gribley, tired of a crowded New York City apartment, runs away to live off the land on his great-grandfather’s abandoned Catskill farm — with only a penknife, an ax, some flint, and forty dollars. Over one unforgettable year, Sam learns to make fire, forage cattails and acorns, hollow out a home inside a giant hemlock tree, train a wild peregrine falcon he names Frightful, and survive a killing winter in deerskin clothes. But as he masters the wilderness, he discovers that solitude has a cost, and that even a boy who dreamed of living entirely alone still longs for a friend — and a family. Jean Craighead George’s Newbery Honor classic (1960) is one of the great survival stories in children’s literature. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel, with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, SAT & TOEFL-style practice, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
