Great book, 1st book in series. Read in order. ( )

4.5 stars. ( )

What a great story! I couldn't put it down. I feel like I'm a kid again.... This was always my dream, to slip away into the wilderness and live on my own. To build a raft and float down a lazy river and watch the animals go about their routines. Most days that's still my dream. I think every kid wants to run away at some point in their life for one reason or another and it's nice to read a book like this once you have kids of your own to remind you of the thoughts and feelings you had at their age. I've found a new favorite. Thanks to my buddy Ryan for the recommendation! ( )

I always thought I had read this as a child but either I didn't or I just don't remember. Loved the description of life on the mountain. ( )
