Looking for books that fit our monthly reading challenge this July? Try one of the favorites from our home shelf!

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel July 2023: Staying Alive features the book MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN by Jean Craighead George.

Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going—all the way to the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.

There, Sam learns to live off the land, befriends a few animal companions, and learns to appreciate the freedom, independence, and adventure that he finds in the mountains.
