On the Far Side of the Mountain por Jean Craighead George

I know I'm not the age demographic for this novel but the title could have been "They went for a hike and nothing bad happened."

My Side of the Mountain: Frightful's Mountain (#3) por Jean Craighead George

Can frightful survive alone?

Sam Gribley has been told that it is illegal to harbor an endangered bird, so when his beloved falcon, Frightful, comes home, he has to let her go. But Frightful doesn't know how to live alone in the wild. She can't feed herself, mate, brood chicks, or migrate. Frightful struggles to survive and learns to enjoy her new freedom. But she feels a bond with Sam that can never be broken, and more than anything else, she wants to return to him.
