Frightful's Mountain

258 pp. | Dutton | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46166-3 $$15.99
(3) 4-6 Fans of My Side of the Mountain will be glad to revisit Sam Gribley in this sequel, though its focus is mostly on Frightful, the peregrine falcon. After being returned to the wild, Frightful adopts three motherless falcon chicks, hatches her own nestlings, and migrates south. The book is long, with frequent shifts between human and animal perspectives, but the detailed nature writing is sure handed.
