My Side of the Mountain

Back of book:
“Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in his family’s crowded New York City apartment. So, armed with just the bare necessities — a pen knife, a ball of cord, some flint and steel, and the clothes on his back–he runs away to the mountains. There, Sam must rely on his own ingenuity and the resources of the great outdoors to survive–and discovers a side of himself he never knew existed.”
