About this audiobook
Frightful, the peregrine falcon who first appeared in My Side of the Mountain, is back. Her amazing journey through life continues in the face of many rousing wildlife adventures. Will she survive the wilderness, even though she was raised by a human? When an old friend rescues her from captors, Frightful soars into the unfamiliar woodlands and searches for home. Before finding her mountain, she adopts a nest of motherless peregrine chicks. But construction crews, bird poachers, and even a bald eagle threaten her new family. Frightful needs help from Sam Gribley, the human who raised her. Kids and parents alike will be captivated by this action-packed continuation of Sam and Frightful's journey. Acclaimed author Jean Craighead George has won a Newbery Medal. With Jeff Woodman's splendid rendition, you feel the wind blow through your hair as Frightful glides above the hemlock trees.

124 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What ages would I recommend it too? Eight and up.
Length? Two days.
Characters? Memorable, several characters.
Setting? Real world, mostly on and near a mountain.
Written approximately? 1999. Written decades after the original two, it includes technology that did not exist when the originals were written.
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? Ready to read more.
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? A few links to sites that update the status of the birds today. Also a link to sites with pictures and facts about the falcons would be nice.
Short storyline: Omniscient narrator shares the story of Frightful the falcon, the boy Sam, and many other people in the community.
Notes for the reader: Some of the falconry terms are used that may confuse readers, and bore them in places. Skip them and enjoy the story. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book to read to your children.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A worthy successor to "My Side of the Mountain", this book tells the story of Frightful and her offspring. Sam and the rest are back as well, but this time the emphasis is on the Peregrine falcon.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An AMAZING bokk I read it week after week.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was interesting to read the next part of the story from Frightful's view, but I didn't really care for this installment any more than I did the previous ones. It was a good story, just not my taste is all. It had a somewhat fun adventure story, but was a bit too preachy on wilderness survival and human impact on wildlife for me. I'm all for knowing these things, but I'm well past the age that I want to read a lecture on them. So, good for pre-teens (especially boys), but not quite so much for adults, unless you're really into wildlife and the wilderness.
