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

Tree Home
Tree Home
I am on my mountain in a tree home that people have passed without ever knowing that I am here. The house is a hemlock tree six feet in diameter, and must be as old as the mountain itself.

Downy Feathers
When I awoke my eyes opened on two gray eyes in a white stroobly head. Small pinfeathers were sticking out of the stroobly down, like feathers in an Indian quiver. The blue beak curled down in a snarl and up in a smile.
“Oh, Frightful,” I said, “you are a raving beauty.”
