Frightful's Daughter

32 pp. | Dutton | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46907-9 $$16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel San Souci. Frightful, the falcon who appeared in the author's My Side of the Mountain trilogy, returns in a picture book. Now the focus is on her hatchling, Oksi, who "did things her own way" and ends up wintering in the north with young Sam Gribley. Though well illustrated, the text is wordy and overwritten, suggesting that Oksi's story would also be better suited for a novel than a picture book.
