"Should appeal to all rugged individualists who dream of escape to the forest."—The New York Times Book Review

Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in New York City with his family, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountains to live in the woods—all by himself. With only a penknife, a ball of cord, forty dollars, and some flint and steel, he intends to survive on his own. Sam learns about courage, danger, and independence during his year in the wilderness, a year that changes his life forever.

 “An extraordinary book . . . It will be read year after year.”
—The Horn Book

Title: Excellent read
Review: Daughter loved. Triumph of spirit and survival. Bought this copy for a gift — recipient highly recommends, as well. Age range wider than indicated, as some younger adolescents may like, through YA.

Review: I work in a nursing home and when I decided to read to the residents I started with my own book collection suggesting some of my favourites to read. When we got to this book I was surprised to find how universal this story was. While I loved it as a child my residents each found something in the pages that they could relate to and since then I've had the pleasure of reading it a dozen times and now I bought the ebook so I can carry it with me even further!
