My Side of the Mountain Trilogy by Jean Craighead George

4.0

I read My Side of the Mountain in elementary school and really enjoyed it, but I never know it was a trilogy! So I am driven by a need to know how the story ends...

I wasn't disappointed! Although I can't imagine this story taking place in today's world (I cringed with fear each time the children were approached by strangers), it tells a wonderful story of humankind's relationship with our natural world and how we take things for granted, and provides a stark awareness that most of our "needs" are really just "wants."
