My Side of the Mountain

Book Description:

This book tells the exciting story of a boy who decides to leave his home and live alone in the mountains. He wants to learn how to survive in nature, away from the noise and crowds of the city.

It has been loved by readers for many years, especially young people who dream of adventure and freedom.

It’s a great choice for anyone who enjoys stories about animals, forests, and finding your own path.
