My side of the mountain author's preference question paragraph!
The author of My side of the mountain is Jean Craighead George, and she was taught by her father how a person might live in the wilderness. The members of his family all want to run to the mountains. The author was born and raised along the Potomac River near Washington D.C.. The author also knows how to train a falcon! He learned this skill from his brothers. His brothers were two of the first falconers in the United States. There was a twist about writing this book, the publisher refused to write this book in the beginning because they did not want to encourage kids to run away from home. Then he changed his mind cause the story is not true. The main character in this book is also the narrator to and his name is Sam Gribley.
