My Side of the Mountain Challenge Trade Book Grade 4: Harcourt School Publishers Storytown (Rdg Prgm 08/09/10 Wt)

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.
