Frightful's Mountain

The main character of the 3rd book in the series is Frightful, and not Sam. This was a surprise to me but I learned a lot about falcons. A good way to end the series.

Enjoyed the read

My grandson is reading the series and loves the story. He is on his second reading the books.

Frightful’s Mountain - the third in the My Side of the Mountain series - was our favorite. Much of the book was told from the falcon’s perspective, and we loved all the details about mating, raising ayeses, and migration. The storyline was interesting and kept us listening on our daily commute. We are birders, so keep that in mind when reading our rating of the 3 books. ;-) We also lived My Side... while the middle book was okay but not as good as the first and last. We will most likely listen to this and the first book again.The narrator was pleasant - although it drove us nuts to hear him say “ Pair-uh-GREEN” falcon over and over. In our neck of the woods, it’s pronounced “pair-uh-grin.” We heard it said the first way so many times, my son keeps accidentally saying it that way.We enjoyed the parts about endangered species, falconry, and hacking falcons to the wild.I like a good story (this was.), and I like to learn at the same time (this definitely has some knowledge packed in.) So Frightful’s Mountain will stay on our favorites list for a long time to come.For reference, my son is 7 and in second grade. He has been into birds for 2 years now. I’m 45 and started birding when my son developed the interest. His reading level is at about a 4th grade level, and this whole series was much enjoyed by us both.

This was a beautiful ending to the series. The fact that it was written from a bird’s POV was really interesting and though the book was long, it wasn’t boring. The themes in this book- mostly relating to relationships- were well-developed and especially interesting coming from a bird’s POV. As usual the characters and setting were great. The ending was appropriate if not the MOST satisfying. Would I read more by this author? Yes. Would I recommend this? Yes.See the full review on my website, Awesome Book Assessment: http://www.awesomebookassessment.com/2014/12/frightfuls-mountain-by-jean-craighead-george.html

Lots of memories and dreams with grandson as we read the book

This book was a perfect ending to my 11 year olds favorite series. He has been absolutely enthralled, and this last book wrapped everything up in a perfect way. He says he recommends it to anyone, even if they aren’t sure about the series topics. :)

Great book for kids...my son like it so much purchased other two in trilogy

Interesting and adventurous story! My children really enjoyed this book!

Amazing!!! Awesome quality and fast delivery. The story is touching and I would definitely recommend it.

livre anglophone broché souple en papier recyclé de 1999 suite de deux autres racontant l'histoire d'un jeune faucon pélerin faisant l'expérience de la vie sauvage; une vingtaine de chapitres d'un texte captivant au style simple et direct sans autres illustrations que quelques gravures n&b; ce livre ravira tous les amoureux de faune sauvage et surtout d'oiseaux même s'ils auraient apprécié quelques photos

This is a great book for young people. It's very interesting, tells a great story and is very uplifting. It's part of a trilogy and my young friend who got it can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy. Highly recommended.

Arrived Brilliant condition A++
