My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George

My Side of the Mountain is all about the adventures of Sam Gribley. Sam got tired of city life, so he ran away to the Catskill Mountains. He only has a few simple materials. 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?
