About this book

Fans of Sam Gribley and his falcon friend Frightful will thrill to Jean Craighead Georges new book about these beloved characters. Now living in the wild Frightful and her mate hatch three babies. The female Oksi "does things her own way" and like her mother is destined for greatness.

Jean Georges themes--the interdependence of human and animal respect for the wild and the importance of nature--shine through in her storytelling. In the latest book in her best-selling wilderness series she introduces a younger group of readers to that one mountain among thousands and the one boy Sam who lives there. With majestic sweeping artwork of the sky and forest near Sams mountain Daniel San Souci adds his vision to the story of these noble remarkable raptors and their human friends.
