Finished reading: My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George 📚

This book was formative for me back in my middle school years and is precisely why Peregrine Falcons are my favorite bird. A quick read, but certainly makes me want to run away to the woods. I’d forgotten the disappointing ending, though.

@jarrod There are several sequels if you weren’t aware of them.

@camerontalley.bsky.social I’m already rereading the third! I don’t think I knew about Frightful’s Daughter before.

@kwlblt I’ll be going back to Hatchet shortly. Call It Courage is in the same vein?

@jarrod Yes. I’m just reading its wiki…apparently it has cannibals, too. Guess I don’t remember all of the plot after 30 years…
