Synopsis
Jean Craighead George returns to the Catskills for the third book in the beloved trilogy about a boy who grows up living off the land, and the peregrine partner who will never be far from his heart.
When Sam Gribley learns that it is illegal to harbor an endangered bird of prey, he makes the hardest decision of his life and lets Frightful, his trained peregrine falcon, fly free. But Frightful is not prepared to be a wild bird. She has never had to feed herself, nor does she know how to mate, brood chicks, or migrate in winter. And pulling on her, almost stronger than her will to be free, is a terrible longing for that one mountain among thousands, that one tree among millions--her home with Sam.
Can Frightful survive the many dangers that await her in the wild--especially such humanmade traps as the fatal electrical wires where she must not perch? Will she be able to raise a family of her own? Thanks to the remarkable insights of Jean Craighead George, an incomparably gifted nature writer, readers will be able to experience Frightful's suspenseful and triumphant coming-of-age through her own keen falcon eyes in a story that is destined to take its place among the classics of our time.
Annotation
As she grows through the first years of her life in the Catskill Mountains of New York, a peregrine falcon called Frightful interacts with various humans, including the boy who raised her, a falconer who rescues her, and several unscrupulous poachers, as well as with many animals that are part of the area's ecological balance.
Children's Literature
When Sam Gribley learns that it is illegal for him to keep a Peregrine falcon, he releases Frightful to the wild. Since she was raised in captivity, she is even more vulnerable to the dangers of the environment. She faces threats from poachers and live wires. Just as her natural instincts for raising a family are beginning to appear, their lives are threatened by humans rebuilding a bridge. Sam is not alone is trying to save the falcons, and Jean Craighead George uses the names of real people who are working to make a safer environment for hawks. The reader will soar with Frightful as she flies around her Catskill Mountain region. George maintains her high standard of nature writing as she deftly weaves the natural and man-made dangers into the storyline. Her characterization of Frightful is so vivid, the reader truly cares for her. This, the third book in the trilogy that began with My Side of the Mountain, can be read independent of the other two. |
