Smynx...I read "My Side of the Mountain" when I was a kid, and fell in love with it. A few years ago, we were browsing the bookstore and I found a hard-bound book with the entire trilogy in it. Trilogy???? (I says to meself!) Since when was there a sequel to this great story??? Well, it took her like 30 years to write more of Sam and Frightful, but I fully enjoyed the stroll down memory lane re-reading the first one and then savoring the sequels. (My daughter, Petra, loved them too!)

So...if you haven't discovered those new stories, I highly recommend them!
Yes there are 3 books in the series now all which I have read. The last one, Frightful's Mountain, is a continuation from the 2nd one in Frightful's 'bird's eye view' and my favorite. I had it signed by a major figure in the book (Jon Wood , a falconer) who was selling it at the local nature conservation center. These are some of my favorite books!!
