My Side Of The Mountain

I am reading a book called My side of the mountain by Jean Craighead George.
The author wrote a boy who decided to stay in the wilderness. When the author was a little boy he wanted to run away and live in the wilderness and catch fish just the way he dad had taught him. the people in that family all wanted to run away into the woods bu always came back. Jean was born and raised in Washington,D.C. His brothers were two of the first falconers in the U.S and they helped him train one. At first the publisher did not want to publish the book because he thought that it was encouraging children to run away from home. But then the publisher changed his mind because someone told him its better to have children run to the woods than the city. this story is not a true story although it could happen in real life. Sam is the main character and the narrator. Sam Gribley is living in the woods. his home is an hemlock. The weather is very cold and it is December fourth or the fifth. Sam Gribley ran away from home.
