From the Author
My Side of the Mountain is the best book I ever read.
The first book was really good.The second book was hard to understand and goofy at parts. I hope you make the third book as good as the first book.

Customer Reviews

Long Awaited Dissappointment
My Side of the Mountain has been an annual event for me for many years. I was thrilled to find out that the author had finally come out with a sequel. But like many sequels it was a dissappointment. I hated it. I wish I had never read it. Jean takes the idealistic '50's Boy Scout viewpoint and weighs it down with '90's political correct/eco-freak/feminist babble. She preaches green peace style conservation and responsibility when what made the first book so good was escape from the hyper-sensitive viewpoints of today's "enviromentalists". Talk about innocence lost. I am a biologist and understand conservation and wise use of natural resourses but this felt more like a propaganda pamphlet than a young adult book. I plan on letting my kids read the first book but won't tell them there's a sequel.

Wonderful Book
I tend to like books where a teenager goes into the wilderness and has to survive on their own, so I got this book. I loved it! It was adventurous, daring, and full of drama. I recommend it to anyone who loves adventurous books!

Sequels Rule!
For all you people who like drama, suspence, and adventure, read this book!!!
