Publisher's summary

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.

A great combination of science and story

The narrator was good. The story was pretty good, but it might have been even better if different parts related to each other more. Instead the story's different parts often are more distantly related to each other. aside from that I give it a five star rating. Pretty cool to see the story from Frightful's point of view, and I even learned some things about peregrine falcons! 💖😀👍💎 ✨💯:-)
P.S. If Jean Craighead George is reading this please make a story about Mister Freeze the owl. Thank you!

Great Story, slow listen

The book is great, I teach 6th grade and the students all loved the recording and story, but I always played at 1.1 or 1.2 speed because otherwise it really drags.

A very nice perspective

I loved learning about falcons and how they go about their life. This book has a lot of closure, happy moments, and scares. I recommend it whole heartedly. It is my favorite book of my favorite series.

confused

I'm just confused why the narrator chose to pronounce Delhi differently in this book. It seems like such a small issue but it's enough for me not to finish.. Great book though I thoroughly enjoy it..

Review from my 4 and 7 year old kids

She has a baby named Oaksie. There are falcon thieves in it. I love it! It's so cool! There is a series of three books.
