He must make his own house out of a hollow tree. He has many attempts to make a hunting device, but fails at every one. Until he meets Frightful. Frightful is a peregrine falcon that Sam takes from it's nest. It hunts for Sam and learns to obey Sam. Also, Sam meets a professor who lives on the mountain. They become friends. Sam is enjoying life on the mountain, until tourists come. The mountain is suddenly over-run with people. Will Sam's home stay secret?
