Sam Gribley is tired of living in a crowded New York City apartment, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountain wilderness to forge a life of his own. With only a pen-knife, a ball of cord, an ax, $40, and some flint and steel, he must rely on his ingenuity and on the resources at hand to survive. And survive he does…then 2 years after Sam first ran away, he is still on his own with Frightful, his falcon. His independent sister Alice lives in a treehouse close by. Sam’s life is shattered when Frightful is confiscated and Alice disappears. To find them, Sam must leave and go across the Catskills. But the trail may lead Sam to the 2 beings that matter most to him, or it may lead him into grave danger.
