Frightful’s Mountain is a gripping masterpiece of a nature tale. Will she be able to survive in the wild without him? Will she know enough to feed and fend for herself? And what of finding a mate and raising chicks-without the experience in the nest as a baby, will she know how to do it herself? It isn’t easy-she’s depended on Sam her entire life for food and protection, and he didn’t train her the way her peregrine parents would have. Managing to escape, Frightful must learn to make her own way in the world. However, she’s worth quite a bit on the black market, and one day she is captured and her thieves prepare to sell her. Now, as a fully-grown bird, she is a majestic specimen of a bird of prey. Sam Gridley has raised Frightful from a chick. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a gripping story, too-even Mom, who rarely takes time to listen to audio stories, got sucked in near the end! It’s a fascinating tale! Recently, I discovered a sequel, Frightful’s Mountain, in an audiobook source we have access to as a family. One brother, especially, loved the story and listened to it over and over. Years ago, Mom got a free trial for Audible and along with that gained access to My Side of the Mountain. Synopsis: Frightful, a peregrine falcon, must learn to live on her own after she is unexpectedly separated from the only source of food and protection she’s ever known. Series: My Side of the Mountain trilogy, book 3
